MUSKEGON, Mich— After airing a story last week about dogs in the Muskegon area with serious injuries as a result of dog fighting, a dog and owner have been reunited.

Earlier this month, Rotty the Rottweiler was lost and injured. He was turned over to Pound Buddies shelter in Muskegon Heights with a dislocated hip, scratches and bites, where he was treated.

Doctors think Rotty was a 'bait dog' used for training fighting dogs.

Despite the sad start, the story has a happy ending. It turns out Rotty’s real name is Duke and he belongs to a family in the Ravenna area.

A friend of the family saw FOX 17’s story and the pet and owner were reunited Thursday night.
