Neglect and abandonment know no age, as shown by Bentley’s heartbreaking story. This small, innocent puppy was left to fend for himself on the streets by an elderly man who no longer wanted him. Weak and fragile, Bentley sought refuge under a car, too exhausted to do anything but cry.
For over 15 months, Bentley endured neglect that left him too weak to stand, his little body ravaged by hunger and disease. It seemed like he had given up on life—until a compassionate passerby found him and decided to act.
Carefully lifting the frail dog from under the car, the rescuer named him Bentley and rushed him to a veterinary clinic, hoping it wasn’t too late to save him
