It’s my birthday, and while I hoped for a flood of well-wishes, the silence is making me feel a little blue

Somebody called and reported Paws 4 Hope about an elderly dog tied up, hungry and thirsty. ilovemydogsomuch writes that four years ago his owner died and left him to a neglectful adult. The 12-year-old dog had severe skin problems. He also had no teeth, was extremely dirty and had not been bathed for an unknown amount of time.

They decided to name the adorable dog Roger and took him to the nearest vet for medical treatment. Roger was treated for his ailments and given a much needed bath before being placed in a loving foster home. He is currently being treated for anemia, intestinal parasites, skin and ear problems.

Thanks to the love and support of his rescuers, vet and foster mom, Roger has changed not only on the outside but also on the inside.
