‘Miracle dog’ survives ordeal
Print Edition
A stray dog was hit by a car, clubbed in the head and left for dead in a ditch in Washington state. Days later, the 1-year-old bully breed mix showed up sickly at a nearby farm.
Now, the dog that defied death is recovering with the help of good Samaritans and veterinarians at Washington State University.
The dog used to roam the streets getting scraps of food from people in Moses Lake, a farm town.
About a month ago, she was struck by a car. Then things got worse: Someone cracked her in the head with a hammer and placed her in a box in a farm field. But the dog somehow survived and was discovered at a nearby farm with a dislocated jaw, leg injuries and a caved-in sinus cavity.
The wounds helped veterinarians piece together what happened, including the hammer blow.
“Considering everything that she’s been through, she’s incredibly gentle and loving,” said Sara Mellado, who took the animal into her Moses Lake home. “She’s a true miracle dog.”
She named the dog Theia.
