(WIDK By Brittany Hahn) - The puppy is doing well, but not so much the former owner.
New Jersey woman 29-year-old Kisha Curtis has been charged with throwing her starved pit bull puppy down a garbage chute and leaving him to die.
Curtis denies ever abusing the dog, she claims that she left the puppy in a hallway before someone else found him at the bottom of a trash chute nearly dead.
According to Daily Mail, the poor puppy was found at the bottom of the chute back in 2011 on St. Patrick’s day, and Curtis is now facing trial.
Luckily for the puppy, who is now named Patrick, he went from a skinny 19 lbs to a healthy 50 lbs now that he has a new home.
