Elderly dog recovering after being found in trash

http://bangordailynews.com/2017/05/11/news/lewiston-auburn/elderly-dog-recovering-after-being-found-in-trash/

LEWISTON, Maine – A Lewiston shelter is searching for the owner of a dog after it was found in the trash.

The little Chihuahua the shelter named Motto had a severe case of dental disease, one of the worst they’ve ever seen.

The operations manager at the shelter says in all the years he’s worked there, he’s never smelled something so horrible.

Motto is on the mend at the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society.

After reading that I just had to hug and kiss my sweet girl. It woke her up but I still got a slight tail wag and a kiss back.
