A dog suffered horrific injuries after an abuser yanked multiple zip ties extremely tightly around his neck before leaving him to die in agony. The animal, since named Sunny by rescuers, suffered extremely deep cuts to his neck after the ties were pulled around his neck and left to dig into his skin.

Stomach-churning photos shared by Hardin County Animal Services show the depth of Sunny’s wounds, which also became badly swollen and infected. Rescue workers were called when Sunny was found wandering outside, and were able to cut the cable ties off.

He has been given emergency treatments, and remains in the care of a veterinarian. Photos taken afterwards showed Sunny with continued swelling, but rescue staff say his prognosis is now much better.

A Hardin County Animal Services spokesman explained: ‘He has made huge progress overnight. His spirit is high.’

Workers at the shelter have also appealed for anyone with information about how Sunny was abused to contact them.

The dog will be put up for adoption whenever he has recovered from his injuries.
