Bless you for stopping and taking that poor pup home. He must have
been terrified not to mention how much pain he had to be in with his
feet such a horrible mess! It is amazing he was not hit by a car. I believe
you were put there at that time to save this little one with such sadness
in his eyes. I am sure he must feel soooooooooo good being bathed and
cut, you did an awsome job with that I would like to add.

Your a wonderful person and whatever decision you do make about him
I am sure will be the right one. I don't however believe he should be returned to his former owners. It does not appear he was taken care of
at all except to be feed. Lucky he found you and your family. Good luck
in you search for a wonderful home for him.
