A good Samaritan brought Little Foot to Arizona Humane Society after finding him with rubber bands tied around his paws.

PHOENIX — A puppy is making fast progress in his recovery after he was found with rubber bands tied around his ankles.

According to the Arizona Humane Society's Facebook post, a good Samaritan brought a 6-week-old puppy in last week after finding him. His feet were so swollen he had difficulty walking.

The puppy, whom shelter staff named Little Foot, was treated with daily laser therapy and warm compress massages to improve the circulation in his paws.

Little Foot’s paws have improved over the past nine days, AHS says, and the scabbing is almost gone.

Little Foot is still recovering, and AHS said it’s unknown how long exactly that will take.
