The dog was given the nickname Sweet Messiah by his caretakers at the Hill Country Humane Society. Sweet Messiah's rescuer also alerted the Llano County Sheriff's Office about the dog's condition. At first, the Hill Country Humane Society was worried that the pup wouldn't make it through the night, but the animal thankfully did. The Hill Country Humane Society also mentioned that vets found Sweet Messiah's stomach was full of gas and had to be drained. "We are not sure when he will be available," the Hill Country Humane Society wrote on social media.
