A malnourished dog seeking shelter stumbled upon the home of a family in Philadelphia. The door wasn’t shut properly, so the dog was able to enter with ease after leaving and coming back several times. Turns out the owner mistakenly thought the electric lock had secured the door. Thankfully, this was the opportunity for the ill dog to climb in and find warmth and safety indoors. It was around 3 a.m. after a storm blew past when the wife noticed the dog shivering and wet inside their home.
The family named the dog “Suzy” and they are currently giving her medical treatment for her multiple health complications.
Jokinen says she walks on three legs due to a paw infection, she has an infection in her teeth, extremely underweight and a flea and tick infestation. She was also not chipped, veterinarians said.
The happy accident was captured on CCTV. Get the full story at ABC Action News.
