Oklahoma City, OK – A German shepherd who survived for weeks in a backyard pen in Oklahoma following his owner’s death has found a new home after being adopted by his extended family in Texas.
Gunner was on the brink of death when the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office discovered the remains of his 64-year-old owner in his home on May 14. Deputies believed he had been dead for as long as a month.
The dog spent weeks trapped in a ‘large pen in the backyard,’ according to the department’s Facebook post. A veterinarian estimated that he had ‘just hours to live’ when he was found.
The Bella SPCA Rescue Center in Oklahoma City announced on Tuesday that Gunner had gone home with his late owner’s family in Texas. Watch the video below:
