In early November, a heart-wrenching discovery was made in Fort Lauderdale, Florida—a 3-year-old dog named "Dice" was found trapped in a cage, abandoned in the yard of an empty apartment. The dire situation came to light thanks to a group of vigilant children who alerted the authorities. Tracey Godin, co-founder of Feeling Fine Rescue, revealed that the previous occupants, who were evicted, had callously left the helpless dog without any food or water. According to the children, Dice had endured the agonizing confinement for at least a week.

Despite the short duration of Dice's stay with his family, it appears that they may have neglected him. Tracey revealed that Dice had been malnourished for several months, indicating a prolonged period of neglect. His condition likely worsened significantly during the past week of confinement, exacerbating his suffering.

Tracey and her daughter Micaela made arrangements to take their beloved pet, Dice, to the veterinarian. They eagerly went to the shelter to collect him before the scheduled appointment. However, their joy quickly turned to concern as they witnessed Dice struggling to walk. With every few steps, he stumbled, unable to maintain his balance. The situation took a devastating turn when, in the vet's parking lot, Dice collapsed under the weight of his own body, his strength giving way. Tracey was filled with a deep sense of doubt, fearing for Dice's very survival.
