Subject: Blood-covered puppy found in Phoenix alley

Blood-covered puppy found in Phoenix alley
>
> 12:48 PM Mountain Standard Time on Friday, December 3, 2004

> By azfamily.com Staff
>
> Maricopa County Animal Care and Control, the Arizona Humane Society, the
Phoenix Police Department and Silent Witness are teaming up to find the
suspect responsible for a brutal act of animal cruelty.
>
> A 5-month-old pit-bull mix covered in blood was discovered staggering in
a Phoenix alley Thursday night. A good Samaritan took the puppy, now named
Clay, to AC&C for emergency treatment.
>
> AC&C employees believe somebody tried to crop the puppy's ears, then
abandoned him when they could not stop the bleeding.
>
> The dog not only suffered major blood loss from his wounds, but he was
malnourished, as well, said AC&C employees who worked to save him. Vets kept
a close on Clay all night.
>
> AC&C veterinarian Dr. Nancy Bradley was the first to see the dog Friday
morning.
>
> "We continued IV fluids, and closed the wounds on the ears to the best of
our ability," she said a news release. "Due to the jagged nature of the
wounds, I would say that they were most likely inflicted from someone
slicing the earflaps with a metal object or shears. At this stage the
prognosis for the dog is fair. For all that he has been through, the dog
continues to wag his tail and try to give everyone kisses."
>
> AC&C vets and staff will continue to watch the puppy closely for the next
24 hours. Once he is stable, Clay will be transferred to the Arizona Humane
Society to continue his recovery.
>
> A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to an
arrest or indictment in the case. Anyone who knows anything about what
happened to Clay is urged to call Silent Witness ay (480) WITNESS
(948-6377).
