Yesterday was a tough one for a young lady who saved an abandoned scruffy dog we named Milo. He was discovered at least a week after his loser owner left him behind when evicted from a house outside of Flippin.
When the landlord reached out to him about the dog his response was "Just shoot him!" Thank goodness this landlord let Abbey step in to help. She called me to see what Lucky Dawg could do. He was severely malnourished, and unable to move his back end. Dr Hilvert saw him and treated him with hopes he would recover. All Creatures Dr. Cliburn took additional X-rays and we discovered he also had multiple lung tumors and was not going to be able to recover. So we did the hardest thing but the right thing. We euthanized this sweet innocent dog surrounded by Abbey, Dr Cliburn, and me. We named him Milo and told him how sorry we were that he was treated so badly. I'm grateful that Abbey and her mom were able to love and care for him with the hope for a better outcome. Today I buried him in my flowerbed and planted daffodils with him. Each morning I will remember how much he touched the hearts of all of us in the short time we were blessed to love him. As far as his horrible human, may you rot in hell. Karma is waiting for you. If you want to make a donation in his honor call All Creatures Lakeside and ask to donate to Milo's account with Lucky Dawg Rescue. 870-492-2058. This allows us to help the next sweet animal that needs us.
