Old Lady was one of 400 dogs rescued from a local puppy mill in early January. Staffers with Ruff Start Rescue placed her with a foster. But before the dog could even set foot inside her temporary home, things took a turn for the worse.

“The foster picked Old Lady up and brought her to her home,” Davis told The Dodo. “As soon as the foster got her out of the car on her leash, Old Lady got spooked from the crunching ice sound and took off dragging the foster with her partway down the icy driveway.”
