Oh my god, the poor baby. I can't imagine giving him up after that. Heartless. That family doesn't deserve such a dedicated, loyal, loving dog.
Hoping he finds a better home soon. Perhaps the publicity will help.

Wait... I just read from the comments on the Huffpo article that he has had the surgery he needs, and he will be returned to his family once their home is back in order. Here is the Vulcan Animal Care website, see the last update:

Thank goodness.

Well I guess that makes me feel better. If my dog crawled on two broken legs to get home - he'd get real warm welcome from me AND the vet care he needed.

Giving the benefit of the doubt - maybe they were displaced due to the storm???

The article I posted did state that they found the dog when they returned home to sort through the rubble.

They probably didn't have anywhere to care for the dog or the money either.

This way, it's a win, win. The dog gets the medical care and will be returned to them when they have a place to live.
