What kind of wounds, and how old are they? I'd probably put the dog on some AB's and flush the wounds out just to be safe....take dog to the vet and check for worms, and any other medical problems and start from there.

do ya think he got loose from the owner? no collar? does he look like hes been in the elements awhile,,to thin,,dirty etc? is he walking good? eating good? eyes look bright? gums and tongue pink? if the wounds aren't to deep he should be fine

Not eating too well, afraid like shit of dogs...my dogs are trying to play with him...he looks like he's been attacked by a dog...cuz he's so afraid...I am keeping the wounds clean and he has been to the vet....

Probably got beat up by some strays, sorry to hear it. Slowly build his confidence and bring him back to health, he'll thank ya for it later. Keep us updated on it, bulldogs tend to bounce back extremely well, I wouldnt be surpised if he's perfectly normal in a few short months.

LMAO, "T"!!!!!!

Glad for the new home! Nice to hear the dog is relatively "ok".
Does this "old lady" know anything about pits? Hook her up to this site. I hope she is aware of the golden rule, "Never trust 'em not to fight". If not, please inform her, ok? Nice job on the rescue. Best of luck all the way around.
A microchip or some ink might be a consideration, if this guy's a wanderer...

I just talked to her...this isn't her first, but I'ma give her the talk anyways...I started crying when I got off the phone with her because I've grown attatched to him...He's such a good dog...when I get my camera fixed, I'll post pics of him...he is such the perfect dog...I am going to ask to see him once in a while because she lives near my family....Ugh...I didn't think this would be this hard!
