A pitbull puppy named Trooper was recently dragged by a truck over a distance of more than a mile (roughly 1.6 kilometers).

Apparently, somebody tied Trooper's leash to the back of the car without the driver knowing anything about it.

When the truck drove off down a Missouri interstate, Trooper ended up going on an unexpected and extremely painful ride.

After he was rescued, there were few who believed that this pitbull actually had a chance of survival, seeing how its wounds were extensive and he had to be bandaged from head to paws. 

Some of the injuries were so serious that one could actually see this puppy's bones.

Still, recent news from the Missouri Humane Society says that, “Trooper is eating and drinking normally and he is walking on his own several times a day,” Daily Mail reports.

Furthermore, “Although his right front leg was severely injured, we see some improvement that gives us hope we may be able to save it.”

Presently, the police is still looking for the people who tied Trooper to the back of the truck. The Missouri Humane Society is offering a $5,000 (€3.835) to those who help bring the culprits to justice.

What is wrong with these people? I just don't understand the total lack of regard for causing pain and suffering. How would they like that done to them!! I feel that maybe that is just what should be done to them. I despise them and wish them the worst of everything in their life.

I am so sad for this precious puppy. I am glad to hear he is doing ok, however I would like to find the person or persons responsible for this and drag them behind a vehicle at highway speeds!! I hope and pray that this awesome dog pulls through ok he should never have had to endure this!!

Dahmer started his "career" with animals. It is a PROVEN fact that this type of behavior is a stepping stone for serial killers and child molestation. The punishment should be bold!
