An abandoned dog that suffered a near fatal neutering was left to bleed outside of an Oregon grocery store but was later rescued by a caring dog lover with a big heart.

Jan Durham of Springfield, Oregon, saved the injured pit bull she now calls Buddy and took him to a nearby animal hospital, KVAL News reports. Durham then paid out of her own pocket for the surgery that saved Buddy’s life.

'He’s really good you know,' Durham told KVAL as she cradled Buddy's head in her lap. 'He’s a great dog. He’s so sweet. He’s smart. He knows how to sit and lay down.'

Durham, a nearby worker, found Buddy leashed to a shopping cart in front of the Springfield Safeway, left behind with a bag of dog food and a handwritten sign that read, 'Anything helps.'
