“His story haunted me, it was so sad, and a few months after he was rescued, my mother was looking to adopt a dog,” Anne Grasso, one of Spyder’s new family members, told The Dodo. “He was a little larger than she was looking for at 38 pounds, but he was so sweet even after everything he has been through. I actually sent my mom some of his pictures from the rescue group and then I came across his story on The Dodo, and when she read it and all he had been through, she just said to me, ‘He’s the one.’”
