PHOENIX — A sweet Great Dane puppy with a "ruff" past has found his "forever" home.
"Lucky" was brought to the Arizona Humane Society after he was found in a Phoenix dumpster in very rough condition.
He was "dehydrated, extremely emaciated with a Body Score Condition of 1 out of 9 (1 is the worst possible score), abrasions and sores throughout his body, and barely able to support his frail body," AHS said.
Two months after starting his road to recovery, the pup has made a remarkable recovery, tripling his body weight.
On Monday, the shelter said Lucky is enjoying life like a puppy should and has been adopted into a loving home.
