Save Gizmo: Aid for His Healing Journey

On Thursday, April 17th around 9pm our 15 year old Shih Tzu was taken from the common area in our neighborhood and was violently attacked, stabbed seven times and dumped in the canal and left for dead. We started desperately searching for him where we heard his faint bark for help. We found him clinging to a rock in the canal where we desperately jumped in and got him out, took him to the 24 hour emergency vet where they have to perform a 4 hour surgery to save his life. I am very thankful for the doctors at the VEG Animal Emergency room in Pinecrest and very thankful for all who have reached out to check on our fury baby. We are extremely grateful for Andrew Lopez from Wplg local 10 who reached out to us and is helping us find whoever did this and hope that there aren’t any more victims of this brutal crime against animals. Thank you to the Miami Dade Police Department who is actively investigating this crime. Our gizmo is now recovering from this heinous crime.
