GALESBURG, Illinois (WQAD) A Galesburg woman calls it a “Christmas miracle” that her dog lived after she says her dog was shot with a .22 caliber bullet in her own yard.
Last week, Terisa, who asked we not use her last name, said she heard gunshots outside and hurried to bring her dogs into the house. Her two Dobermanns had been out in her fenced-in yard in Galesburg.
Eva had been shot in the stomach. The vet said to keep the wound compressed overnight and bring her into surgery in the morning.
Meanwhile, police and the Knox County Humane Society came to the area to investigate, but left without any leads.
