Vet Who Saved Life of Dog Dragged Behind Car Gives the Pup His Forever Home
On 7/27/21 at 12:06 AM EDT
Dr. Gary Andes, along with his team at Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital worked tirelessly to save a dog named Church after the dog sustained traumatic injuries from an act of abuse.
In January, Church was dragged behind a car in the parking lot of Gospel Mission Church in Sullivan County, Tennessee. Church members found the pup and he was taken to Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital. Once the surveillance footage of the crime was found, it was turned over to local authorities. It s very, very appalling, and this animal went through a lot of surgery, and he s still got a long way to go, Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy said.
Goal: Punish the person responsible for dragging a dog behind their car, resulting in painful injuries.
A dog was tied to a vehicle and dragged through a church parking lot in a horrific case of animal cruelty. Those responsible are still at large and potentially dangerous to other animals. See that justice is served for this innocent dog.
“This gentle dog deserved love and a safe home, but instead, he was tortured for a lark,” stated People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) Senior Director Stephanie Bell in a press release. The German shepherd mix, named Church by rescuers, endured injuries to his ankles, knees, and chest during the brief but terrifying ordeal. Surveillance cameras captured two suspects in a white vehicle tying the dog to the car and dragging him around the parking lot. Church members found him and immediately brought him to Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital, where he is recovering.
