SANDPOINT — Beaux, a recently rescued hound mix, has miraculously survived a gunshot wound to the head.
After being brought to Better Together Animal Alliance by good Samaritans in October, a medical team examined the dog and took X-rays, unsure of the nature of his injuries. They found that he had survived a gunshot wound and was severely malnourished. The veterinarian at North Idaho Animal Hospital estimated his injuries were around a week old, Andrea Nagel, director of storytelling and partnerships at BTAA, said.
“It was clear he was in pain and was confused about what was happening, but he was surrounded by compassionate veterinary professionals who helped him with pain medication," BTAA officials said on their webpage. “Our team did everything they could to keep him comfortable, and volunteers generously gave their time to help him move with physical therapy throughout his first night.”
