When PETA fieldworkers first discovered Murphy, he wasn’t even identifiable as a dog, but appeared as a small, matted ball of hair cowering in a wire crate inside a dark hallway.
The fieldworkers convinced Murphy’s owner to give him up and immediately sought medical care for the badly neglected dog. Over 2 pounds of tangled, waste-caked hair was removed from Murphy’s 7-pound frame.
Vets provided Murphy with the proper care he needed and removed the painful knots from his coat, giving him a new lease on life and turning him into the energetic, spunky dog he should always have been. His personality really came to life!
After Murphy made a full recovery, the fieldworkers took him to the Norfolk SPCA where he met his forever family. Murphy loves cuddling in their arms, wagging his tail and giving kisses.
