UPDATE: Dog hiding under old car thought to have been pile of trash

In the Los Angeles County of Watts, two rescuers had been trying to trap kittens who had escaped from a store that had recently burned to the ground. It had been Lou and Arturo, who bent down to look for the kittens under an old broken down car, and thought the pile they spotted had been just trash under the vehicle.

That pile underneath the abandoned car, however was not a pile of trash. At that moment, the rescuers realized it was moving, and then they saw the tiny black nose; yes, it was a dog so badly matted, he was barely recognizable and barely moving.

When the dog spotted the two humans peeking under the car looking at him, it was as if he had just been waiting to be noticed and helped – minutes later, he slowly crawled out from under the car and surrendered to the two strangers. He could only hope they wanted to help.

Hours later, Suzette Hall, founder of  Logan’s Legacy 29,  arrived and met the volunteers at the site. She immediately worked to rush the exhausted dog to the organization’s partner veterinarian.

Imagine if he wasn’t noticed Laying there under that broken down car. I just can’t. We have named him Skates Sweet baby had to get shaved down right away

He still has so many sores from all the ticks 100’s of them. He would have just died under that car.

On Monday, Skates’ update reveals he is still not feeling well; his white blood cell count remains dangerously high, and he remains on medication. He is resting comfortably, and it must feel good to have all that matted fur removed and the ticks off of him.
