A group of children saw a hurt dog lying on the side of the road and called 911, saving the dog’s life! Russ Harper, a humane police officer with Justice Rescue, came to pick up the young Pit Bull and found the dog cold and life.less when he picked him up.

Before Harper saw a sign of life, he thought the dog was dead. Previously used as a bait dog by dog fighters, Remi had bite marks from repeated use as a bait dog. Harper rushed the dog to Keystone Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Havertown, PA.

The Pit Bull is fighting a severe infection and is showing signs of getting better, but is not out of the woods yet. Remi is being monitored around the clock by the vet clinic. “He is still struggling,” writes Justice Rescue. “But I think we can see that his mama nurses are taking very good care of this world wide hero.”

Meanwhile, Justice Rescue is offering a $1000 reward to find those responsible for hurting Remi. Anyone with information can report it anonymously at abuse@justice-rescue.com or by calling 215-942-6363.

I hope Remi makes it! And a big “thumbs up” to the children who called 911 to rescue this poor dog!
