SIOUX CITY — Watching a young dog named Dustin run, swim and bark at a Sioux City park, one would never imagine that six months ago he was hours, maybe only minutes, away from dying.
WARNING: This video shows the graphic results of animal abuse. Dustin the dog was brought to Dakota Dunes Animal Hospital malnourished and on the verge of death. Six months later, he is now healthy and ready to be adopted.
