Scooch struggled to escape his gloomy prison and reach the light without the use of his hind legs.

Scootch was located by animal rescuers beneath his abandoned home at the end of a gravel road surrounded by numerous other abandoned homes.

Even though it was completely dark, their headlamps enabled them to see the brown Pitbull. As Donna approached, he crouched in a corner and let out a low growl. After she hurled a hot dog at him, he abruptly ceased to growl. Scooch used his front legs to lift himself up when he saw the food.

When Donna observed Scooch not using his hind legs, she realized he was incapacitated.

“He was so starving that he devoured every morsel of food I tossed at him.” Donna sent a message through the website of Stray Rescue of St. Louis. – We were concerned about how long this unfortunate dog had been alone and terrified in this location. We ultimately concluded that luring him out with food was the safest and least stressful option.”

Scooch dragged himself forward, his frail body incapable of resisting the food. Donna reported that as she approached the doghouse’s entrance, she paused, as if unsure of what might occur. “After a single glance at us, he decided to give us a shot.”

As soon as Donna stepped outside, she noticed Scooch’s awful behavior. He was extremely underweight and had open wounds on his rear legs from dragging himself through the dirt.

They carefully transferred him to the car with a blanket, and the dog simply looked up at them, appreciative of their assistance and delighted to be in a vehicle with air conditioning.

Donna explained, “His appreciative eyes revealed that he understood that all we wanted to do was assist him.”

Despite the fact that Scooch’s rescue is heartbreaking to witness, his valor and devotion are admirable. We have every expectation that this extraordinary dog will recover, and we know that his rescuers are doing everything possible to provide him with a good existence.
