Maverick, a dog shot in the head in Philadelphia, survived the attack and is now under care at Pennsylvania SPCA. The animal was found on Crane Street near John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, suffering from severe injuries.
Animal welfare workers in Philadelphia are searching for a person who they believe shot a dog named Maverick in the head and left it for dead last month. Maverick was found by a Good Samaritan on Nov. 20 on Crane Street near the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. Maverick was suffering from a gunshot wound above its left eye which investigators say likely happened from close range due to the size of the wound.
Maverick was taken to PASE Animal Hospital and is now in the care of the Pennsylvania SPCA at their Main Line Animal Rescue site. Dr. Alicia Royer stated, 'The bullet entered his frontal sinus, came out below left eye, then grazed and split his nose.' Maverick's injuries left him with a head tilt, a delayed gait of his right hind end, and trauma to his left forebrain. His left eye no longer works and will likely be removed. The CEO of the Pennsylvania SPCA, Julie Kim, said, 'It seems clear from Maverick’s injuries that the responsible party intended to kill this sweet dog. But, miraculously, Maverick survived.
