Dog Stoned & Kicked Whenever He Asked For Food, Kept On 2-Foot Chain All His Life

A rescue group called Sidewalk Specials from Cape Town, South Africa, got a tip about an abused dog named Benji.

When they went in to rescue Benji, they were outraged to see the emaciated dog lying chained-up on the concrete floor with many open wounds and bruises.

Apparently, Benji’s owner stoned and kicked him every time he asked for food. He spent his entire life chained on a 2-foot chain.

By the time the rescuers arrived, he was already dying from starvation, infected wounds and frost bites from living outside in the cold.

When the rescuers offered Benji some food, the traumatized dog was afraid to touch it as he feared being hit again. Eventually, hunger got the better of him and he devoured the food in one go!

Benji was shifted to a hospital for immediate attention to his health. The volunteers and doctors in the hospital had to work hard to gain Benji’s trust during his recovery.

Slowly but steadily, Benji came out of his shell and started showing some love to humans and befriending other dogs in the shelter. After months of rehabilitation, Benji is healthy and ready for his forever home.
