BLACK DOG FOUND IN DUNDALK
Posted over 10 years ago
Could you post this info on your page please... I live on Anne St., in Dundalk. On Sunday 11th at about 8 o'clock the neighbours and I heard some commotion on the street and went outside to investigate. A young black dog possibly around a year old and what appeared to be a lab/collie mix had been hit by car and had run off in shock. A few of us went looking for the dog and eventually found it by the train station. He was badly hurt on one of his back legs and was unable to walk. We finally convinced a vet to come out and McGuinness came and he gave the dog a painkiller. Two other people that live on Anne St brought the dog to McGuinness's vets and McGuinness examined the dog and said that his back leg is shattered and it will cost a lot to repair it. The dog is not microchipped and had no collar, but what looked to be a belt or rope of some sort which was loosely tied around the dog's neck. Unfortunately, I have my own dog and so I can not claim him as I don't have room. Hopefully the owners might recognize the dog as being theirs from the description given as I think the vet is going to put him down if nobody claims responsibility for him. I hope someone does claim him and he is a lovely gentle dog and let us pet him despite his bad injury.
