The dog that would not die
CLEARLAKE, Calif. (AP) - A dog named Dosha may have as
many lives as a cat.
She was hit by a car, shot in the head and kept in a freezer
for two hours, but she survived and is now doing well under
a veterinarian's care. Local animal groups and the Humane
Society of the United States have begun fundraising efforts
to pay for her care. Last Tuesday, Dosha was hit by a car.
A police officer reported to the scene and no one could
tell him who owned the dog.
Officer Bob MacDonald shot the dog, apparently to save
her the pain of her injuries. Dosha, presumed dead, was
taken to Animal Control, where she was put in a freezer.
About two hours later, Denise Johnson, Animal Control's
interim director, was at the impound facility and was told
of the incident.
"Apparently, it was assumed dead," Johnson said.
"I went to the freezer and found that she was alive
and cold."
She had hypothermia and a gunshot wound, but no broken
bones from the car accident, Johnson said.
Police are investigating.
