Please Help Our Darling Trooper

I too could not bring myself to look at the pictures. The description of what this poor dog endured was even more than I can handle. I can't fathom how far removed from their own humanity some people have become to do such an act.

I am saying lots of prayers for poor Trooper and a donation will be sent out soon to your organization. God bless you Chrissay.

Thanks for the update! I wish we could afford to send a donation, but, alas, we can't, so I guess the best I can do is to continue to send pleas out. Good luck. Hang in there Trooper, you seem to be very aptly named.

**SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN THE UPDATE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO POST ALL DAY TODAY, MY COMPUTER HAS NOT BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE AT ALL!!***

Here are some updated photos without the bandages. I warn you they are VERY graphic. So be prepared, they are very graphic, but show GREAT improvement on this little miracle puppy!

Thank you so much for all your prayers, thoughts, and donations. They are SO VERY much appreciated!!!!!

I went and saw Trooper Saturday morning as he was on the table having his burns cleaned and the dead skin cut away, this poor little boy, he was SO HAPPY to see me, he was half awake.. half under anesthesia, and as I held his head in my hands, he was wagging his tail so hard, he could barely move but was wagging his tail as hard as he could. He was SO HAPPY. He's being cut at and cleaned (which is not fun!!) and he doesn't care at all... He's just so happy to have someone holding him and talking to him!

This boy is doing SO MUCH better. The first day he looked awful under the bandages. They have almost all the dead skin cut away, and he's showing MAJOR improvement. He's going to make it, our main concern is keeping his pain under control, which the vets and the animal hospital are doing a WONDERFUL job with. He's just such a people dog! Thank you so much for caring about this wonderful little boy. He's a WONDERFUL dog, and so deserving.

Poor beautiful Trooper! My prayers that he continues to improve.

Have you made any head way with the media?

What a happy update, Chrissay! The picture was difficult to look at, but at the same time, very encouraging. The most amazing part of all is that this tortured, abused boy still has the spirit and heart to not only receive but GIVE love! I got teary as I read how he responded to your affection and touch. It will be one VERY lucky family that adopts the amazing Trooper! I was wondering as well about the media. Gosh, when stories like this hit the news, donations and offers to adopt pour in! Please keep us updated! And many thanks to the dedicated vet. staff that helped to make his recovery possible! You're an angel, Chrissay! Love and hugs to you beautiful, brave, Trooper!!

Oh, your last post made me cry. Those awful burns, and he was still so full of love!!!
I know he is an incredible dog, the person who eventually gets to have Trooper for a companion will be very very lucky.

I just got a Trooper update on my yahoo dog rescue group. What happy news!!

Trooper is doing great!!!! He went home yesterday, some bills still un paid, but our vet is GREAT!!! Boy he is an ACTIVE PUPPY. He wants to play with the other dogs so badly, but we have to keep him separate. He is definitely a puppy. Everything's a toy, he loves toes... Has A LOT of toys, but still thinks the automatic waterer is the best of all... loves the noise it makes when it's refilling, so he splashes all the water out so it will refill! A character all the way. He's a great dog. You can't tell he was ever tortured by a person. He just loves everyone. Thank you so much for helping our little miracle puppy.

Trooper's doing great! You got the most recent update posted. Here's a recent photo. It's not graphic so don't worry! He's a great dog. Doing SO WELL. Such a happy puppy. (In the photo the white stuff on his head is his medicine they but on the wounds

..)

What great news all around, Chrissay! Trooper looks fantastic and SO adorable in his little sweater!!

Isn't it great that despite the horrific cruelty he endured, he still loves life! What a happy little guy!

Thank you so much for all you have done for this precious puppy! Please let us know when he gets adopted! He really is a miracle puppy and you are an angel!

Love and hugs to your Trooper!!
