Dear Val,
Just a short note to keep you informed about Katie, our new black Labrador you have already met, and whose trail you put us on to.
It is now two weeks since she needed such a serious operation to remove the abscess from her side, following sad treatment by her previous keeper. She seems absolutely fine now and will have another check up on Friday.
Once again thank you. We have kept Labradors, mainly black ones, for many years. To be put in touch with another proper black Labrador at this time is more than we had hoped.
A small donation is in the post. To Alzheimer's France please.
With kind regards,
Jenny and Stephen Pike
Val says - Kathy dog rehomer saw this dog being mistreated by a family member and arranged with the elderly owner to take it into care. Kathy picked it up on the Sunday morning and by luck TAG had found new owners. When the dog was taken to Jenny and Stephen it was discovered that it had a wound in its side. Kathy suggested a visit to the vet the next day.
The dog was found to have a very deep wound which as it must have been left for about three weeks, had turned septic. The dog was immediately taken in to be operated on necessitating an overnight stay. We are told without this speedy intervention the dog would be dead now.
Regardless of all this cruel treatment Katie is a loving and forgiving pet and has gone to just the right owners Jenny and Stephen.
Another sad story turned good.
