A stray dog has been brought back from the brink of death after being used as target practice and then tied up in a bag and thrown in a dumpster.

Named Andre by his new owner, the scrappy pooch had been shot so many times with a BB gun that his eyes were gouged out and he was left, dumped in a plastic bag, with sewn up empty sockets, reported MyFoxPhoenix.com.

“He must have been in so much pain, his eyes were hanging out of his head,” said Susie Hopkins, who rescued the poor pup and took him from where he was abandoned in Phoenix to Sedona, Arizona. “He’s been so neglected and abused.”
