A Schnauzer/Poodle mix was once covered with long dirty fur. The dog looked like a mop rather than a pooch and was surviving by hunting rodents in a raisin company. Aside from that, he had a rope around his neck from abuse by a human.
When Krystal Rivera of Pinky Paws ResQ received a call from a neighbor who informed her of the condition of the dog dubbed Bob Marley, she immediately came to rescue him. Getting seven-year-old Bob was a challenge, because he didn't like people.
"I taped up my hands with towels and wore a big jacket because I knew he was going to bite," Rivera explained, according to Dogster. She added that Bob was very mean, which could be due to all the abuse he experienced from humans.
Once Rivera got Bob, she could smell some problems from his overgrown coat - the scent of infection. Rivera could tell that the dog was out on his own for around six months already.
"Now we're able to pay for a lot of our vet bills," explains Rivera, who currently pays 60 to 70 percent of the rescue's medical bills from her own pocket. The money will also pay for Bob's upcoming neutering, and for his ongoing behavior-modification training - which is going to take a while."
She also said that it will take a year to make sure that Bob will already be on his best behavior while being in his best look.
