While hiking up the Arizona mountains last friday, October 18, Andi Davis stumbled upon a 2-year-old black and white pit bull, barely alive, left for dead. The dog had been suffering from numerous bullet wounds and could hardly stand up. Davis was skeptical to approach the pit bull, but soon reverted to trying to help the little dog as he reached for a drink from her water bottle. The dog was barely 50 pounds, and was estimated to have been stranded in the mountains for quite some time. After a little nurturing, Davis managed to get the dog onto its feet, slowly guiding him down the hill, stopping only to give the dog another drink.
Davis' family met her at the bottom of the hill and drove the wounded animal to the Arizona Humane Society. After close examination from the veterinarians, the dog was found to have an open abdominal wound, a bullet in the middle of his neck, and bullets near his spinal cord. Fortunately, the little dog was brought back to health and given a name by his new family: Elijah.
The Davis family now has four dogs after the addition of Elijah, but authorities are still on the lookout for leads to the person who may have abandoned and abused the small dog.
