Jacksonville Animal Care and Protective Services<\/a>, into her car and she took him to get emergency care. But his organs had already basically shut down.<\/p>\n\u201cThis was someone\u2019s pet,\u201d Todd said. \u201cThat\u2019s the biggest mystery, and hopefully with the reward someone will come forward with information that explains what happened because this dog was in such bad shape for weeks and weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
She thinks someone just dumped him for whatever reason.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no way this dog could have lived on the streets for weeks,\u201d she said, noting he was only 2 years old. \u201cSomebody would have called Animal Control; it would have been reported because it\u2019s such an unusual dog.\u201d<\/p>\n
First Coast Crime Stoppers listed the following ZIP codes as possible locations of interest in addition to 32208 where Miracle was found: 32244 in the Townsend area, 32210 near 103rd Street and Timuquana Road, and 32277 near Edenfield Road.<\/p>\n
Todd said Timuquana is where the dog\u2019s microchip from a puppy shop showed he was registered. The store had paperwork and a photo of him as a puppy but didn\u2019t have the owner\u2019s information.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a gentle giant,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was so loving. \u2026 He was a very well-behaved dog. Just a good dog. Adrenaline kind of kicks in when you are in that situation. It was heart-breaking. I knew I couldn\u2019t lift him myself, and I was so thankful for the other person who showed up. \u2026 At least this dog did not die alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
