Rocky, a German shepherd from Mission Viejo, Calif., chewed off his back, right paw to free himself from a tether he had been tied to. He had no other option than to do this. It is believed the chain or rope used as a tether, wrapped around his leg and cut off any circulation to his limb.
The dog is only 11-months-old and his owner surrendered the pet to the Orange County Animal Shelter on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2014.
