Zoe is a German Shepherd Who was forced to do the unthinkable after she was tied up with no food or drink in the cold.

The dog was tied in a New York backyard and was noted by a delivery driver last Thursday who at first thought the dog was shot. He tried knocking on the door but got no response.

He then called the Susquehanna Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and informed them of what he had seen.

They rushed to the dog and found her missing her front leg. The dog was in an incredibly terrible condition.

Unfortunately, they discovered the dog must have been tied and left to die in the cold without food or drink for so long that she was in chronic pain and couldn’t take it anymore, so she saw no other way out of this misery but to chew her own leg off.

To make matters worse, the dog was also anemic and was diagnosed with a heart murmur. She had a benign tumor on her shoulder that still needed to be removed in an operation that was described as being ‘palliative and dangerous’.

Authorities were informed and the New York State Police found Carl Pritchard who’s Zoe’s former owner and charged him with animal cruelty offenses.
