Starving dog that lived on rocks finds a new home [View all]

[joeybee12]

An emaciated Weimaraner named Alex who survived by eating twigs and rocks and was rescued in October has made a remarkable recovery. Even better, he has been officially adopted by his foster mom!

“When I first met him, he was really thin that drew me to him and his eyes were so haunting and piercing,” Diane Lundeen explained to WVUE.

Alex was found wandering the streets in New Orleans back in October.

An X-ray revealed that the poor boy’s stomach was loaded with rocks and twigs. His stomach flipped almost immediately after being taken into care, requiring emergency surgery.

The 45-pound dog was in for a long-term recovery period. After some intensive care, he was fostered by Diane, mom to two other Weimies.

“He gained 10 pounds in his first 10 days he was staying with me. That told me he was definitely a good match,” she said.

Warning...there are photos at the thread that are heart-breaking, even though the guy pulled through and as you can see in the above, looks much better now.
