(Gristle's Before Picture)While feeding another soon-to-be-rescue, Eli, Bandade's President, Chris, was approached by several people holding a box containing a tiny, motionless puppy. The people explained that they had found her and thought she had been hit by a car...
It was not a convincing story. The vet told Chris that the puppy was hit (or kicked) in the head.
The puppy was in a coma for several days and didn't move with an exception to breathing. When she came around, she would/could only walk in circles for at least two weeks. There were whisperings that the puppy had suffered major brain damage. She also needed to have her damaged eye removed and needed to be spayed.
Regardless of her injuries, Gristle pulled through with the help of Bandade Animal Rescue.

Gristle (AKA Grizzly Bear) was adopted and now lives in Kentucky with another of Bandade's rescues, Jerome Bettis.
