Dog tied to tree soon to have new leash of life

A dog that was saved from the freezing cold and tied to a tree in the woods is doing very well.

The handsome pup,named Jasper by Humane Society staff had a gash in his neck caused by an embedded collar.

The wound was a little worse than they thought, and so he will not be available for adoption for a couple of weeks.
