[TW] Severely injured dog finds its way home
Pancho, a 7-month-old Chihuahua in Perry County, Tennessee, was
missing for 7 days, but finally found his way home. After he disappeared, his owners searched for him without success. He found his way home after a week, dragging himself along with his front legs. His back, hips, and back legs were broken, and he is paralyzed from the waist down. According to the vet, the injuries are consistent with having been kicked or stomped, rather than having been hit by a car. A $2000 surgery will be needed to straighten his hips and back legs, which the family currently can't afford, but, even then, he will never be able to walk on his back legs again. I couldn't figure out how to get a URL for the video file itself, but you can see the news item by visiting http://www.wsmv.com and clicking on "Video Headlines". -- John F.

The news item didn't mention any such fund; they showed the owners, but didn't mention their name. -- John F.
