The dog that jumped out a third story building for food

After almost 2 months spent without food in an filthy and flea infested apartment in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a starved and frightened dog became desperate to eat that it jumped out of a third story window, injuring itself in the process.

The starving dog jumped in an apparant search for something to eat, animal control officials said. The dog who is a one year old female pit bull type dog, suffered from various injuries after the jump, including a broken hip and hind leg.
New Bedford Animal Control Officer Emmanuel Maciel said "the dog underwent surgery yesterday at a local veterniary hospital and is expected to make a full recovery."

Not only was the 1yr old pitbull left in the apartment, but they also found another dog, in which was a 4month old puppy which was also starving, is being treated at Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists and should both make a full recovery.

Maciel reminds pet owners to reach out for help when they are no longer able to look after there animals, "That's what we do. We know that times are tough and sometimes you may not be able to have food or water for your animal - but call us do the right thing don's just abandon them."

The property manager for the building in which the two dogs were found, said the previous tenant moved out about 2 months ago, but had no name or contact information to reach the individual. However officials are looking into this and are confident they will find who is responsible.
