Have you ever seen a more handsome dog?  This big boy, a  Great Pyrenees - Anatolian Shepherd mix, is Webster.  Here is his story from rescue angel Carolyn Jordan at Bear Creek Rescue:


"Farmer shot & killed heeler a few days ago, the one remaining Pyr that was with him ran into neighbor's yard.  He was shooting AT the Pyr.  Pyr was limping when neighbor saved him.  She works for city, leaving for work, she put him into a chain link pen in her yard.  Farmer followed dog & insisted that she let him shoot the dog (he had just killed the heeler) and "be done with it".  She refused, contacted us through another rescue & I left immediately to go & get him.  She said she could not guarantee the farmer/neighbor would NOT go onto her property & kill the dog anyway, since no one was at home then.
I advised her to call him immediately & tell him that this dog was now under the protection of the NGPR & if he harmed one hair on this dog, he would have me to deal with...  She did call him & tell him that.  There was no one around when I arrived there after a 1 hr drive.
He was bragging about how many dogs he had killed "for chasing his cattle" & she feared that the 2 Pyrs that disappeared last week, had been killed by him.  She was so relieved to know that we had gotten them & they are safe.  (Nevada & Utah)
We are calling [him] "Webster".  He is a young boy, 12-13 months, 94 lbs, gorgeous.  Lifelong neglect is present. Webster  is a typical (for this area) LGD mix of ASD (Anatolian Shepherd Dog) and Pyrenees.  He is lame on R hip & back leg, but no blood was found or evidence of gunshot wound.  It was Webster  county he was found in.  As I notified NGPR before I left here, it would've been the Webster county jail I would've ended up in, had I encountered the shooter. 
I alerted my vet that I was on the way with a possible GSW & they were expecting me when I arrived there.  
Webster first of all, is Heartworm & Ehrlichiosis positive.  He is undergoing xrays for what's wrong  with his R hip/pelvic/leg area, as we speak.
Eherlichiosis has to be treated first, it's a tick borne & often fatal bleeding disorder that has to be addressed first before proceeding with any other treatments or surgeries.  High dose Doxy for 2-6 weeks, depending on his platelet count.
Will update as soon as I know more about his condition.  Waiting on call from vet now in regards to his orthopedic status."
