Looks like you've done a terrific job cleaning him up. He's adorable. What fool would abuse and abandon a dog like that? |
Thanks everyone for the compliments. He has come a long way in just a month......I wish I had a before picture.

He does that to my two dogs as well (Skipper - pom/spitz, and Toby, terrier mix - both rescues as well).....he likes to bite at their feet and he sounds so ferocious, it's pretty comical. They seem to know he's just little and they tolerate it very well, and Toby likes playing with him.
Here's my other two dogs:
