This boy was given to us but had already lost his leg. We don't know what happened to him unfortunately but he seems extremely scared of loud noises and large metal objects.

How did they loose the leg?: About a year ago, a farmer's herding dog, not being spayed, gave birth to a litter of 5 puppies. The farmer had no use for them, so up for adoption they went. 3 of the pups went to loving homes in the area, but two didn't quite make it. Soon, a strange person came up to the farm, asking if there was any more puppies to adopt. They seemed nice enough, so the farmer gave the remaining 2 to them. Potato and his sibling, his sister, were bundled into the person's truck. They were driven to a far away farm and shoved in a shed. Then Potato and his sister were used as what is called "bait dogs". This is when people teach dogs to hunt and fight by making them attack gentle, harmless dogs and other animals. He and his sister where kept in horrific conditions for several months. The only thing that ever came from the outside was the sound of gunshots. These terrified them both. The only thing that kept them alive was the scraps that the person brought, and their bond. When dawn arrived one morning, not that they could tell, the person opened the door once more. This time he brought with him some other dogs. Potato believed his salvation was at hand. They were let out of their cage and the new dogs circled them, curious. Then the person fired in the air with his gun.

The dogs suddenly lunged and clawed at Potato and his sister. His sister was immediately brought down. Most dogs will to live would've ended the moment they couldn't hear her cries. But his only got stronger. He fought his way out. He was about to bolt out the door, when a dog sunk its jaw into his hind leg. It threw it around and actually managed to rip it completely off. The dogs were now preoccupied with their new meat, and Potato ran out that door, and ran to freedom.

Potato's wounds have now healed, but he is still deathly afraid of large metal objects that remind him of his cage, and loud noises that remind him of that fatal shot.
