Dogs move around in packs.
Before they were domesticated, this was their way of life.
That’s why you always see dogs in packs because that’s their mentality from way back.
Even when dogs became domesticated, they still have this mentality.
In a multi-dog household, there will always be an alpha dog.
In a house where there are no other dogs, dogs are trained to look at humans as the alpha.
Ghost has been living in the deserts of Nevada for a couple of months or more.
He has been spotted in the Inspirada neighborhood of Henderson, southeast of Las Vegas, almost every night with a couple of coyotes.
It’s believed that he was dumped in the desert when he was a few months old and sought refuge in a pack of coyotes.
At first, the residents thought he was one of the coyotes but, at close inspection, learned he was a domesticated dog breed.
Some of the residents became fascinated and took photos and videos whenever they spotted Ghost and his pack.
Because it became a regular sighting, the residents eventually noticed when something was different.
One of the residents noticed that Ghost walked with a limp.
They got scared that this limp would eventually lead to his pack of coyotes turning against him.
This could lead to his actual demise.
The residents tried to approach Ghost but he would always disappear before they could get to him.
That’s how he got his name.
The Southern Nevada Trapping Team got hold of Ghost’s situation and stepped in to help capture the dog.
They used the information from residents of their Ghost sightings to analyze his patterns.
They were able to lure him into a crate with food and took him to get examined.
That’s how they found out that Ghost was in a worse situation than it looked.
Ghost had multiple bite marks all over his body.
He had an eye and ear infection.
He also had a broken toe, which now needed to be amputated.
Plus his scrotum had to be removed.
On top of that, they discovered rocks in his stomach.
They believe that, in his hunger, he ate rocks to satisfy it.
They gave him medicine to help Ghost pass the rocks through his poop to avoid having another surgery.
Despite living with coyotes for a long time, his desire to be loved by humans still took over.
Ghost loved the attention and care he was receiving from his rescuers and the medical team.
“He is the sweetest, most loving dog,” Timi Zondiros, one of the rescuers, told FOX 5 New Las Vegas. “He comes up to you; he wants to be petted; he wants to be held.”
The rescuers and medical team are now attending to his health needs, which are not going to be cheap.
They set up a GoFundMe campaign to help with the medical costs and people all over the nation have stepped up.
As of writing, they have raised over $14,000.
Once Ghost is all set, they will find for him his forever-loving home.
