In the midst of being neglected and abused, there is a tale that is filled with resilience and hope. Jordan, a dog, is the one who does the telling. Because his owner kept him chained up and allowed him to go without food, Jordan's life was filled with a lot of misery and suffering for his whole existence.
Over the course of several years, Jordan resided in the yard of his owner, where he was restricted in his movements by a short chain that allowed him to roam no more than two feet. The only sustenance he had was stale bread and bones that had been cooked, and he slept in the garbage with broken bottles all around him. He was surrounded by garbage.
In the midst of the darkness, there were rays of light that came in the form of people who were compassionate and who refused to ignore Jordan's predicament. They wanted to provide Jordan with a better life, so they appealed for assistance because they witnessed the frequency with which he was being battered.
