Elyse Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 COWANSVILLE, Que. -- Police are investigating the case of a dog that has somehow survived after being shot in the head and left in a ditch in Quebec. An animal shelter in the town of Cowansville says Orville the Australian shepherd was near-death when he was found on the side of a road in Quebec's Eastern Townships. It appears he was shot behind the ear with a small-calibre weapon, and an X-ray shows the shattered bullet still lodged in the dog's skull. Shelter director Carl Girard says he and the other staff couldn't put the animal down even though he was partly paralyzed and wasn't eating. Two weeks since being found, Orville is up and about, although he has problems with one of his front legs and shows clear signs of having been abused. Orville now spends most of his days in Girard's office, but is walking, eating and even running. Girard has filed a complaint with provincial police, but a spokesman says the force has no leads as yet.

Keeonah Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I really think that at times the punishment should befit the crime. Perhaps then, it might deter some of these morons from doing what they do. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
