Pancho, a 7-month-old Chihuahua in Perry County, Tennessee, was
missing for 7 days, but finally found his way home.  After he
disappeared, his owners searched for him without success.  He found
his way home after a week, dragging himself along with his front legs.
His back, hips, and back legs were broken, and he is paralyzed from
the waist down.  According to the vet, the injuries are consistent
with having been kicked or stomped, rather than having been hit by a
car.  A $2000 surgery will be needed to straighten his hips and back
legs, which the family currently can't afford, but, even then, he will
never be able to walk on his back legs again.
