He’d gotten enormous mouthfuls all over his torso, face, and legs, and his face was so blasted he couldn’t open his eyes. He had gotten septic after leaving the infected incision unclothed for several weeks. The unfortunate dog was chained up and allowed to die.

Saviors brought him to their facility, where he was placed on an IV and administered antibiotics for months. The nanny was summoned to assist by the round clock.

Marco, the dog, turned out to be a legionnaire. Despite the lengthy path to rehabilitation, he made it!

Despite all, he still loves, relies on, and seeks love from people.

He now lives in a loving family with numerous other dog siblings, with whom he enjoys playing. His dog-fighting days are long gone, and while the scars will remain, his history does not define him.

He presently spends his days cuddled up on the sofa with his new family or running about with the other kids in his large neighborhood.
