Rescued ‘Bait Dog’ Found With Both Ears Missing Had No Idea She Was Finally Safe

Just one look at this dog and you can tell life has been unbelievably difficult. She was found in 2013 by a police officer from Phoenix, Arizona police wandering the streets. The dog was dirty, emaciated, and covered in ticks. Then there were her missing ears – they had been bitten off, which means she was likely a bait dog used to train dogs to fight.
