After being abandoned in a park with his sibling in Butler County, Ohio, on March 13, a three-month-old puppy named Trooper was hit by a train, causing him to lose an eye, his tail and his hind legs.
His sibling was later found in the city of Fairfield.
Police have arrested a 17-year-old from Hamilton, Ohio, for abandoning the dogs, and the culprit now faces misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty and abandonment.
“If the juvenile would have just taken the dogs to the shelter, Trooper may not be injured today,” Sheriff Richard K. Jones explained in an interview with Fox 8 Cleveland. “I am sure Trooper will find a great forever home, but his limited quality of life could have been prevented if this individual made a better decision.”
When Trooper’s story was shared on social media, hundreds of adoption offers poured in, but it was Elizabeth Forman who turned out to be the perfect fit as Trooper’s new guardian, and she now provides him with a loving forever home. Together, they raise awareness about animal abuse and neglect by traveling to local businesses and schools to educate people on animal welfare.
“He’s just getting on with life,” Forman said of Trooper’s progress. “He’s getting on with what he’s supposed to be is a puppy. He does that quite well. He doesn’t have any restrictions for himself.”
Trooper’s inspiring journey and his efforts to give back have attracted thousands of followers to his Facebook page.
This heartwarming story reminds us that all rescue animals have a purpose and deserve a second chance at life, regardless of their physical setbacks.

This dog deserves better. The “juvenile “ that caused the damage needs one eye gouged out and have both their legs chopped off. Anyone ever heard of paybacks?

BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK TO TROOPER AND ELIZABETH FOR A WONDERFUL LIFE!!
THIS PUPPY HAS A BIGGER HEART THAN ANY HUMAN I KNOW, CANINES ARE THE MOST LOYAL, LOVING AND FORGIVING ANIMLS UPON THIS EARTH, THEY ARE ALSO THE GODS OF THIS EARTH AS WELL AS THE DOG STAR SIRIUS, MANKIND MUST LEARN TO SERVE THE WORTHY AND THE NOBLE, WHICH IS THE CANINE.
HUMANS MUST LEARN TO SERVE THE CANINES IN ORDER TO GROW A “HEART”
GROWING HEARTS IS WHAT CANINES DO BEST!
ASSISTING IN BATTLEFIELDS WHICH ARE WARS THEIR WARS!
ASSISTING THE POLICE FORCE BECAUSE THE POLICE CAN NOT FIND VICTIMS OF MURDERS AND RAPES WITHOUT THEM. ASSISTING HOSPITALS IN FINDING CANCER PATIENTS BEFORE A DOCTOR CAN RUN A N E X RAY MACHINE. YOUR CANINE KNOWS LONG BEFORE YOU IF YOU ARE ILL.CANINES ARE THE MASTER TEACHERS AND WISDOM KEEPERS. GROW A HEART HUMANOIDS.
Yaaaay Trooper. But misdemeanour? He wanted them dead. It’s attempted murder!
I am so glad Trooper is doing well, and adopted by Elizabeth. Thank You for helping Trooper. All animals deserve a chance !
Bless that brave pup and his perfect owner and may they continue to spread love and kindness. We don’t have anything like enough in the world.
Que l’ordure qui a abandonné ce pauvre chien soit sévèrement punie! A la place de ses parents, je m’en voudrais d’avoir mis au monde un monstre pareil!!!
It seems incredibly common for people who abandon dogs to dump them just anywhere : parks, roads, empty dwellings. Perhaps they do this because they fear it will cost them money or get them in trouble with the law. Are there shelters that charge for drop- off ? Are there communities that consider giving up a dog a crime ? We need to find out & create public awareness of what the truth is.
Well done Trooper you are doing a great job. I admire you. Thank you Elizabeth for looking after him.
Hope the monster gets seriously ill and has a long agony. These are monsters, devils, who abuse animals or throw them away like old dirt. It is the mud of the earth. Hope that his brother and sister will have had a good home as well, because there is no further mention of that.
Why is it that some many people behave so badly and others behave so well?
