David's unfortunate meeting with a motorcycle

From Maggie at ARTT...

ART rescued another retriver last week on 7/17. He was found lying in front of a convenience store. According to the clerk at the counter, the dog came to the store at midnight. He seemed very tired and couldn't walk very well. There was a mark of a motorcycle wheel on his body. It seemed that the dog had a traffic accident. The boss of the store planned to report the dog to the city pound but a customer suggested calling ART for help.

We sent David to the vet for a check-up. The vet found that David had a broken rib. There is no need to have a surgery but it will take about a month for David to get healed. David also had Ehrlichia and is currently under treatment. He is estimated to complete all the treatment in mid-August.

David has very sweet personalities, superly friendly, around 2 or 3 years old, neutered, 62 lbs, and all the other tests are negative. He is a handsome boy and I will take more of his photos. Attached are the photos taken on the day of his rescue.
