An employee of the company that services the porta-john found the dog that had apparently spent a few days in the bathroom with just a small bowl of food and no water. Grand Blanc police were able to locate the dog's owner and arrested the 25-year-old woman for animal cruelty.

Hank is now in good shape and getting the care needed from a local animal hospital as well as the good Samaritan that originally found the dog.
