Neglected Dog
In July, a Pet Welfare volunteer, stepped in to save the life of a badly
neglected dog. Harry, as he is now known, was spotted dodging the traffic
in a busy road.
When he was captured the volunteer realised what a terrible condition
he was in. Not only was he under nourished, but he was suffering from
an untreated allergy, that had caused him to loose much of his fur, he
had several sores and cuts and the bottom of his feet were very badly
damaged.
Pet Welfare volunteers began nursing Harry back to health. With appropriate
medication his allergy was brought under control, his fur began to grow back
and his cuts and sores started to heal. Harry was put on a healthy diet and
soon gained weight In order to help Harry walk on his damaged feet he had
to wear socks, and although in pain he managed to get about. Despite the
ordeal Harry had been through he remained a very loving and trusting dog.
