A dog sustained horrific injuries after being dragged along a road while tied to the back of a car. Doodles, a six-year-old male terrier, thankfully survived the traumatic event after breaking free from the restraints.
But he was left covered with extensive wounds and was suffering from concussion, the Irish Mirror reports. The terrified pooch was rescued by a member of the public who witnessed the incident and found him cowering in a ditch he had fled to.
Dogs Trust Ireland took Doodles into its care after the member of public reported the incident to local authorities. The terrier underwent urgent veterinary treatment and is recovering after being placed with a local foster family through the charity's Regional Rehoming Programme.
