In May, Oklahoma County deputies went to a home in Luther where they learned that a 64-year-old man had been dead for nearly a month.
Deputies also found a dog named Gunner in a backyard pen.
The sheriff’s office said Gunner survived the ordeal by drinking rainwater and eating a small amount of food left behind.
His muscles were so weak that he could barely stand, and he was covered with fleas and ticks.
Deputies contacted the Bella SPCA Rescue Center, and the facility nursed Gunner back to good health.
On Tuesday, a member of the owner’s family adopted Gunner.
Bella SPCA officials said:
Gunner is already making friends with his new sister and settling into his new life in Texas.
