Gunner was in the backyard kept in a large pen, according to police, who said that he was able to survive off rainwater and a small amount of food Gunner had found. In police photos of Gunner's yard, there are two large bowls collecting rainwater, overgrown with plants. One bowl of water is greenish-brown, while the other appears to have clear water, albeit with things floating in it.

Though he was able to survive, it was only barely, as police reported that he was covered with"thousands" ofA veterinarian contacted by police said that had Gunner been found even hours later, the dog would have died. Police took him to the Bella SPCA Rescue Center in Oklahoma City, which is where Gunner got his name, as his original name is unknown.

"We are honored to be the first call from the sheriff's office & we are grateful for this partnership, and with all law enforcement. We are always here to help people & animals in need," Bella SPCA said in their Facebook post.Bella SPCA says it will cover all costs for Gunner's care, but the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office recommended people donate in his name to Bella SPCA if they can help pay for his recovery.

Gunner is in critical condition, according to Bella SPCA, and is being taken care of at the organization's partner vet, the Woodlake Animal Hospital in Oklahoma City. Thankfully, Bella SPCA says it's likely Gunner will pull through.

This happened to a friend of mine. His dog survived on more than food scraps.

Sad and tragic for both the deceased owner and the dog.🙏
