If you've ever watched these "Houston Animal Cops" type shows, you'll of seen acts of cruelty that are quite simply difficult to comprehend. The worst thing is though, these things also happen on our very own doorstep, and Gus is a perfect example of this.
Thrown from a moving car, and very underweight, Gus was just another Staffy that had served his purpose to someone and was no longer wanted. On arrival with us he was clearly unsure of where he was and what had happened to him, but deep down you could see in his eyes that there was a real star waiting to shine.
Gus quickly learnt that we weren't going to hurt him, and made friends very quickly. Then the magic happened, somebody that had heard of Gus's tumbling onto tarmac rang me to see how he was doing, and the rest as they say is history.
Gus now has a Mam and Dad who adore him (thanks Paul and Lorraine) and a brother and sister who think he's the bees knees. An amazing turn around for a dog thrown out of a car like a crisp packet. We're all very proud of him.
