Remember this guy? Look familiar? We hope not! It’s Patrick, the Miracle Dog. He looks nothing like he used to in the days in the garbage dumpster of his New Jersey apartment building. He had been tossed down the garbage chute from 19 floors above, perhaps given up for dead. This is what he looked like in March after his rescue.

And then, after a few days of care, like this:

You’ve come a long way, sweet Patrick. Here’s to a great, long, happy life with your loving family at Garden State Veterinary Specialists. (I’m looking for an update on the case of his former owner, Kisha Curtis. A grand jury verdict is due any day now.) We’ll end with a happy Halloween shot to take the bad taste out of our mouths from these last photos.
