On a weekend jog with his dog last fall, a man was surprised when his pet, who usually never leaves his side, suddenly ran off into a nearby dog park. Confused by her strange behavior, he went to investigate what had caused her to rush off in such haste.
The 36-year-old dog lover, Will Green, caught up to his rescued pit bull-boxer mix, Cokie, and was shocked to find in a corner of the park what appeared to be an abandoned foxhound lying miserably in a muddy pool, looking almost dead. The emaciated canine had mud covering her fur coat after the previous night’s freezing rain, and she appeared immobile from fatigue and malnourishment.
