Summary:
UTAH – The Great Pyrenees Rescue in Montana is caring for and rehabilitating a Great Pyrenees that was severely injured from a leg-hold trap. They did not see the dog caught in the trap, but the young man who found him and the vet the dog was taken to both believe the injury was caused by a trap.
The dog (we are calling him River) had lost almost all of the toes to a front foot. X-rays that were taken and revealed that the best option to give River a great quality life was to amputate the entire leg due to infection throughout it.
