“From the nature of Diesel’s wounds, it is believed that he physically took on the intruders.' WeekendArgus
Cape Town - Last week, four-year-old Diesel and Todd, a Yorkie, were outside when two men jumped over the fence into the yard.
"They stabbed Diesel in the chest and then ran away. He had a wound of about 10cm. My wife arrived 20 to 30 minutes later, he would have bled to death if it were any longer."At the vet, he was immediately taken in for surgery. The vets operated on him for about two hours. He stopped breathing during the operation and they had to put the ventilator on. The doctors did not expect him to make it through the night.
“From the nature of Diesel’s wounds, it is believed that he physically took on the intruders. Fish Hoek Veterinary Clinic has been amazing with taking care of Diesel in the time of his need,” said Benade. Last year, robbers slit a dog’s throat in a home invasion in KwaZulu-Natal. Another was shot in the face.
