Death-Defying Dog Recovering From Wounds

Wednesday, April 23, 2003

CLEARLAKE, Calif. — An 8-month-old puppy is miraculously recovering Wednesday after being hit by a car, shot by a police officer and stuck in a freezer for two hours.





Officer Bob MacDonald shot Dosha, apparently to put her out of her pain, after being run over. She was then placed in an animal control freezer for two hours before someone realized she was still alive.

Veterinarians immediately snapped into action to save Dosha and warm her up after her ordeal.

The cute caramel-colored pup is now being treated with antibiotics for her injuries, and her doctors say she is expected to fully recover.

Bob Chalk, the police chief in Clearlake, Calif., is defending officer MacDonald saying he did nothing wrong when he shot Dosha because the four-legged friend was in pain after her accident.

Dosha's owner, Louetta Mallard, may be cited by police for allowing her dog to run free.

The case remains under investigation by police and Animal Control.

What part of the dog's body did the officer shoot? It doesn't seem like it would take too much common sense for the officer to shoot a small animal in the head to quickly put it out of its misery. Was he going for a lung or heart shot?

Anyway, I'm glad to see that the pup is going to make it.
