DETROIT, MICHIGAN (The Detroit News) - The Michigan Humane Society is caring for a 6-month-old puppy after rescuing him from an open sewer on the city's west side this week.
"We don't know how long he was down there or exactly how he got there," said Chris Ouwerkerk, the MHS rescue driver who came to the dog's aid Tuesday. "He's not in great shape, but he was definitely happy to be out of there, and we're glad a kind person contacted us in time." A passerby walking her pet heard Leo's yelps in the 12000 block of Manor and called the humane society. Rescuers found Leo trapped several feet down at the bottom of the sewer.
The dog, believed to be a shepherd mix, weighed only 11 pounds. He's being treated for dehydration, severe emaciation and red mange.
