WABC-TV picked up on the story of Walter the Puppy who was rescued after being tossed from a car at 15th Street and Third Avenue on Easter Sunday:
7Online.com: With the help of his friends, they rushed him to the Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group in Cobble Hill where doctors and staff brought Walter back from the brink of death.
“Walter was in really tough shape. He was severely neglected. He had a bad case of mange that caused him to lose a lot of protein,” Dr. Brett Levetski said. “We’re past the critical stage. He’s eating and drinking on his own. And it’s pretty playful.”
As awful as his first few months of life have been, Walter loves people. He loves curing up into a ball on laps and falling asleep in the safety of their arms.
“From an isolated corner at 15th Street and 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, Walter’s story has hit the web: pictures, videos and rows of comments. There are several thousand people following his blog waiting for updates on his progress and pictures of his improvements.”
An update from the Help Save Walter website today:
Just wanted to write a post to thank everyone again for the generous donations towards Walter’s medical care. He is really coming along well, which is a testament to the staff at VERG, as well as to everyone who supported Walter throughout his ordeal. He’s a really special little guy.
We are happy to announce that we are confident that we have raised enough money to cover the cost of Walter’s emergency care. The donation button is still up and active, but please donate knowing that any overages will be donated in Walter’s name to the ASPCA, local rescues, and shelters so we can try to help other animals in need.
Thank you all again for all you’ve done. Walter’s life could have been very short and painful, but thanks to everyone rallying around him he is going to grow up a healthy, loved, and happy dog.
thank you thank you thank you
