Trojan was spotted by #USC students Eden Weinblut and Lindsay Gibson, and they knew he needed help. He was very hungry, but he was too scared to allow them to help him.
Loreta Frankonyte and I headed out right away, we were told that Lindsay is keeping an eye on him, and Eden was also heading toward the rescue location - this was going to be a team effort.
This rescue was tricky - a lot of students around, a nervous dog, a huge campus, noisy construction, and in an effort to keep him around, Lindsay kept feeding him, so by the time we got there, he wasn't really hungry anymore. Loreta rushed to the campus cafeteria to get a fresh cheeseburger - I hoped he wouldn't be able to resist that.
The actual capture went smoothly, a simple textbook rescue 🤓👍
What we didn't know is that this Trojan horse was waiting for us to let our guard down so he could escape. In his first attempt to escape, he knocked Loreta to the ground, but she got back on her feet and managed to get a #LuckyLeash around him. Then he tried to trick us so we would let our guard down again, and when that didn't work, he tackled Loreta again and bit her multiple times! 😰
I will have the rest of the story and medical update on Loreta on our blog: www.HopeForPaws.org/Blog
