A rescue in Brooklyn...

https://patch.com/new-york/northfork/s/gc1jc/watch-dog-dumped-in-trash-bag-is-now-loving-life



<...>
St. Vincent was found at Highland Park on Dec. 19 by a passer-by who noticed the black garbage bag moving and heard the animal inside struggling to breathe. The good Samaritan called the police who cut the bag open and found St. Vincent inside.

He was covered in his own urine, unable to move his legs and vets said he likely would've died that night if he wasn't found.

An officer who previously adopted a pooch from the Bully Crew responded to the 911 call and notified the rescue group. Volunteers from the group took St. Vincent to VERG-South in Flatbush and then to its Gowanus facility.

Vets feared he would never walk again, but after weeks in treatment St. Vincent eventually recovered and walked out of the medical center on his own.

Before Fields officially put him up for adoption, they got applications for more than 100 people who want to care for the pooch.

"He's a sought after big guy and we're going to find the perfect home for him," Fields previously told Patch. "He's going to live out his senior years comfortably."

Who would do this to an innocent animal like this? It's sickening and appalling.

I'm glad a good Samaritan found him and that's he's okay.

Bless everyone who worked to save this precious St. Vincent. Thank goodness for every wonderful one of them.

Best wishes to St. Vincent and his new human forever friend.
