Rescuing horribly emaciated dog

While taking her two dogs for a walk, a woman stumbled upon this horribly emaciated dog.

She immediately took her dogs home and returned to the pup with food and water.

He was lethargic, nearly starved, and covered with scabs.

The vet's best guess was that his "owner" had kept him tied on a very short chain in the yard and ignored him. He would have been surrounded by his own excrement, attracting legions of flies to himself, resulting in all the scabs and bite marks covering his body. After being neglected for so long, he eventually became skinny enough to slip out of his collar. No one is sure how long or how far he wandered before the woman found him.

Nevertheless, he was still willing to give people a chance. He was named Thor, god of Strength and Healing. And what a suitable name it turned out to be.

THE TRIAL OF THOR: First bath. Not sure if this "rescuing" business was a good idea.

THOR: ALONE AGAINST THE CELESTIALS: Exhausted. But refusing to abandon his new toy monkey.

THOR: THE REIGNING: After a good night's sleep in a clean bed and a hearty morning breakfast, he starts to feel cautiously optimistic. That blur in the back is his first new-home tail wag.

THOR: GODS AND MEN: First cuddles.

THOR:THE WORLD EATERS: First nylabone . Working out them chompers!

THOR: BLOOD OATH: First kisses! He's starting to feel safe and secure.

THOR: BLOOD AND THUNDER: Still very thin, but the weight is starting to add up!

THOR LORD OF ASGARD: His coat is starting to gain some luster back.

THOR: SUNLIGHT AND SHADOWS: Unfortunately, he still has a long road to recovery. After testing positive for heartworms, he has begun a lengthy and expensive course of treatment. Luckily for Thor, he is more than strong enough to handle it.

THOR: GODS ON EARTH: Glamour shot. If he could duck face, he would have.

THOR VS THE SERPENT GOD: Finally starting to look like other dogs. And it's making Thor show off his god-like hammer. The hammer...is his penis.
