Romeo was just one of the millions of strays running around Greece, but he happened to come across the wrong people at the wrong time. A rescuer in the area saw three kids dragging the dog by a rope around his neck. The damage was so bad, Romeo was at risk of dying from the damage done to his esophagus and trachea.
From The Orphan Pet’s YouTube page: “He went through a 6 hour operation and a long recovery, and today he is a happy, healthy boy. He is in the care of one of the best rescuers I know, and is gaining back his trust in people. When you call him, you can see that he wants to come to you, but is too afraid to approach on his own.”
