Dr. Gary Andes, along with his team at Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital worked tirelessly to save a dog named Church after the dog sustained traumatic injuries from an act of abuse.
In January, Church was dragged behind a car in the parking lot of Gospel Mission Church in Sullivan County, Tennessee. Church members found the pup and he was taken to Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital. Once the surveillance footage of the crime was found, it was turned over to local authorities.
"It's very, very appalling, and this animal went through a lot of surgery, and he's still got a long way to go," Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy said.
