“The veterinarian told me ‘it was bad’ and it would probably be expensive,” Price said about the four-month-old pit bull they named Kurtis. “I knew we couldn’t afford the treatment and I had to consider euthanasia, but I didn’t want to. He was just so bad off. His face was bleeding and full of scabs. He was dehydrated and had mange, a staph infection and E. coli.”
