This dog has seen the best and worst of humans in his short life.
His ordeal began when he was kidnapped by a vengeful homeless man.
The man took out his frustration on the dog by strangling him and slicing off his leg.
He then threw the dog 30 feet into a South Los Angeles river.
Jordan clung to an empty chips bag in the river for two days, doing his hardest to keep afloat.
He was badly dehydrated when he was discovered, and his damaged limb had festered.
Jordan was barely alive as the rescuers descended the hillside to save him.
Jordan was transported to the hospital in severe condition, and veterinarians quickly determined that the dog’s life was improbable.
He required surgery and blood transfusions to treat the infection caused by his amputated leg, but he was too frail to undergo surgery.
They lavished the dog with affection and urged him to stay.
It was nothing short of a miracle that the dog was ready for surgery in just four days!
Jordan’s leg surgery went well, but she still had to cope with mange and bacterial infections.
Meanwhile, he was placed in a foster household, where his foster mother and doggy siblings repeatedly encouraged him to fight.
