A shocking piece of news was brought to light on Thursday, June 26, of a stray dog that was shot four times and was left for dead in Fujairah.<\/p>\n
A witness recalled how the helpless dog was sleeping outside a shop when a car pulled up, and the driver got out to shoot the stray in broad daylight before getting back inside and driving off.<\/p>\n
The Fujairah-based animal shelter, Animals and Us<\/em><\/a>, shared the account on their official Instagram page<\/a> and expressed their utter outrage over the inhumane criminal offence. Upon getting the tip, a volunteer from the shelter, Michelle, rushed to rescue the dog and took him to a vet in Dubai.<\/p>\n Animals and Us<\/em> disclosed how the dog, named Chance, was “shot four times in the neck, shoulder and legs. X-rays show there are bullet fragments in his spine. Once he has stabilised, further x-rays will be taken to understand the full extent of his injuries.”<\/em><\/p>\n “For now, we will let this beautiful, helpless soul that we have named Chance rest and try to recover from the trauma. We chose the name Chance because we are adamant we will give him a chance at life, love and justice\u2026”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Animals and Us (@animalsandusfuj)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
