I was out hunting with my master when I got shot in the leg and also in the face. It was very painful and all I remember is running away. I don't know if he was shooting me on purpose. It is possible because I have lost a lot of condition recently and had difficulty keeping up with the other dogs. I think it was because I had lots of ticks on me that were sucking my blood and also I had loads of wriggly worms in my tummy and I believe that this means they take all the goodness from me. Whatever the problem I had been quite ill for some time before I was shot. Then to make matters worse I ran from the gun and I hit something really hard. Maybe it was a car I don't remember but my face hurt a lot afterwards.
I was lying down in the sand at the Akamas. I could hardly stand up. I was so hungry and thirsty I had really given up. I saw these people coming towards me and all I could do was look at them hoping they would see the pleading in my eyes. I saw her kind face and I felt a little hope. Maybe she would help me. She and her friend had two dogs with them and their dogs looked nice. She came to me and stroked me gently. She told me not to be frightened. I lay still and let her stroke me. Well I couldn't do much else I was exhausted. No food, no water, no shelter for as long as I could remember I was truly passed caring.
She asked her friend to get the car and the next thing I knew I was being wrapped in a blanket and placed in a big vehicle. I lay down at my saviours feet. I know she called Ruth and asked for help. Ruth came and said she had managed to find a foster home for me. Sadly, I was so infested with ticks I had to be cleaned up first. While they were doing this I found out it was Vi and Alan that had rescued me. They said they had never seen a dog in such a terrible state before but Ruth said it was nothing unusual. They all worked for ages taking these creapy things off me and then Ruth and Vi took me to Elizabeth who said she would care for me. Even she was appalled by my condition but she was really lovely and I knew I would be safe with her. I heard them saying that I didnt deserve this.
I was taken inside a warm house and given food and water. My mouth hurt but I was so hungry I managed to eat a little and it was so good. It was agreed that I would see the Doctor the next day. Ruth and Elizabeth took me to Dr. Maria and she knew immediately that I had a double fracture of the jaw. Within 24 hours Dr. Maria and Dr. Inna had operated on me. I had my jaw wired, I was neutered and I had my leg stitched. 48 hours on I felt a different dog. I am back in my foster home enjoying good soft food, sleeping in a warm bed and being fussed over. I think they call this place heaven. Ruth said this is what parc is all about. They help sick and injured animals. All I can say is thank you to Vi and Alan for caring enough to do something when they saw me and thank you to all those people who support parc. Without your support parc could not help animals like me.
I need a forever home. I am gently, loving, trustworthy dog. I am good with all animals and people. Ruth says I have suffered terribly and I deserve a good home. Please help me. Thanks you Scotty.
