This pit bull has spent the whole of his life dangling from a chain that is attached to a doghouse. His owners deserted him during the evacuation when Russia launched an assault on their country, leaving him with none of their possessions. A chain that was so short that it practically reached the kennel, as well as no food or water for the dog. Despite this, its stubby tail continued to wiggle.

Toby was pleased to meet the people from Love Furry Friends who had come to his rescue when they arrived. Because he was not wearing a collar, the chain had cut deeply into his neck, causing him to need medical attention. They took him in for a checkup and gave him his first wash, both of which would change the course of his life forever. The dog then went on to grip the hand of his savior and plead to be rescued, which is precisely what ended up happening.
