Cactus Jack, a eight-week-old puppy was found face-first in a cholla cactus in Phoenix, Arizona. Passersby who found the Yorkie-terrier mix alerted the Arizona Humane Society and went to work on removing the scores of fish hook type spikes from his face. They removed a five gallon bucket worth of spines. Vets who treated him said he was not phased by his ordeal. He just loved the attention and was wagging his tail throughout his medical examination. Cactus Jack was put up for adoption. The Arizona Humane Society believes there will be some many takers that a ballot will be opened.
