Those of you who looked at the Vermont slide show saw Bruno, the emaciated tan and white pit bull that was close to death. We are happy to report that Mike, Bruno's foster dad, told us that Bruno is doing better.

Mike reports that Bruno has made incredible progress this week. He writes that on Sunday "Bruno was feeling so happy he trotted a little (by accident), he's been following me around the house, he watches me a lot with bright eyes, head held high and tail wagging. What a difference a week full of medical help, love, good food and lots of rest can make!!!"

Bruno started heartworm treatment yesterday. It will be touch-and-go for a few days and after that he has to stay quiet for five or six weeks. Unfortunately, his lung congestion has gotten worse through the week, his breathing is labored and coughs up blood a lot. Luckily he is young and stronger now to help recovery.

Thanks to Mike for caring for this sweet guy!
