This
is what a dog saying, "Thank you!" looks like.
The call from a
distraught woman came in to PETA's emergency line late on a Friday night. She
had given Justice, a 7-month-old puppy, to a former neighbor several months
earlier, and now blood and pus were oozing from a gruesome wound on his neck. A
collar that she had put on the growing dog four months earlier had never been
loosened or changed by his new owners. And now it was deeply embedded in his
neck and throat.
Two PETA fieldworkers set out right away on the more
than two hour drive to the trailer home in rural North Carolina. Justice needed
medical attention immediately, so they rushed him to a 24-hour veterinary
clinic, where his collar was carefully removed and his wound gently cleaned out
and bandaged.
