Patrick, the Pit bull who was found near death by a maintenance worker after his owner tossed him into the laundry chute of a 22 story apartment building is continuing to recover each day.
Although Patrick is still pathetically thin, the staff at Garden State Veterinary Specialists says he is slowly progressing. He is eating more food and is now gets to lie on a shamrock blanket outside his cage.
In the last couple of days, he has received a second blood transfusion to help him. The foreign body found through an ultrasound at the beginning of the week doesn't seem to be hurting his recovery so veterinarians will address removing the object when Patrick gets a little stronger.
Patrick sniffs and greets everyone that comes to meet him and there have been lots of well-wishers. There have been TV crews from all over the area recording his progress.
Associated Humane Societies of New Jersey is paying for the dog's recovery. Associated Humane Societies is offering a $2,500 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of Patrick's abuser(s).
