The dog was found wrapped in a plastic bag in a garbage chute just seconds before he would have been consumed by a trash compactor.
No one really knows how he got into the chute, but we do know that the dog’s owner had tied him to a railing and left him there for a week.
No one at Garden State Veterinary Services thought that he’d make it through the night, but somehow, he did.
They named him Patrick since he was discovered the day before St. Patrick’s Day… but this little dog wasn’t out of the woods yet.
At just 19 pounds and with a body temperature so low that it didn’t register on the thermometer, his chances for survival were slim.
Now that they knew he was going to survive, the staff’s next challenge was teaching Patrick to live like a dog again.
A year after he was discovered mere inches from death, the fifty-pound Patrick looks nothing like the puppy that was found in the garbage chute.
His former owner is being charged with neglect and abandonment, but regardless of what happens to her, Patrick has emerged victorious.
While he’s still timid around strangers, a dog biscuit is usually the perfect way to get him to warm up to you.
His story has been used to advocate for stricter animal abuse laws, which are desperately needed across the country.
