It's been more than a year since a starving puppy was found at the bottom of a trash chute of a large apartment building in Newark, New Jersey.Patrick has since been adopted into a loving home and his previous owner is facing charges for animal abuse.
On March 16, 2011, the building's superintendent found the emaciated and shivering dog -- who'd been wrapped in a plastic bag -- just seconds before he would've been swallowed up by the trash compacter.
The dog was named Patrick because he was discovered the day before St. Patrick's Day. Rescuers didn't think he would survive another 24 hours. But he did. And his story is something of a miracle. (via)
