A puppy has somehow survived an attack that left her without most of her jaw and tongue. She's an 8-month-old puppy named Katrina who someone decided to use as a target. "If it had been an inch further back, we may not have been able to save this dog," said veterinarian Dr. Veronika Kiklevich.
Most of Katrina's jaw and tongue are gone, shot off by someone who then left her die. Now, she can't eat or drink on her own. "This is obviously trauma to me. I can't see that this would happen in a natural world in any way," Dr. Kiklevich told News 4. Katrina was found last week, hurt and running around the Helotes area. She was brought to the Animal Defense League to receive help.
Katrina's case is just another one of many unsolved animal abuse cases. Although still frightened around people, Katrina doesn't attack. It's giving everyone hope that she'll fully recover and bring joy to someone's life.
"She'll look a little goofy. She may need a pocket protector when she gets done with this," Dr. Kiklevich added. Katrina had her first surgery Tuesday. We're told she is doing fine. Veterinary surgeons were able to reconstruct part of Katrina's jaw and save a little more than a third of her tongue.
She'll be looking for a good home in about a month.
