Saskatoon SPCA says reconstructive surgery needed for dragged dog
SPCA starts fundraising campaign for dog dragged behind minivan
There are mounting veterinary bills for a pitbull that was dragged behind a minivan, the Saskatoon SPCA said.
Heroic Henry, a large grey pitbull, was dragged behind a vehicle driving near Lenore Drive and Silverwood Road on Sunday night.
The dog's leash was tied to the van's trailer hitch. It eventually broke, freeing the dog.
Bystanders tried to stop the van, but it sped off.
Heroic Henry is now being treated at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.
The SPCA expects the dog to have a long, intensive recovery. Reconstructive surgery will be needed. The dog is also suffering from post-traumatic stress.
It's believed the total cost of medical and rehabilitation bills will range between $5,000 and $10,000.
The SPCA has set a $10,000 goal for the fundraising campaign. You can find the page here.
