A homeless dog who was found hiding in a stranger's shed with a horrific bullet wound in his head is fighting for his life. The abused pup, later named Bandit by his rescuers, was discovered emaciated and alone on Saturday night by the homeowner in Youngstown, Ohio, US.
Police responded to the call and enlisted animal carers at Mahoning County Dog Pound, who rushed Bandit to emergency veterinary care. It was estimated the poor pooch was shot several days before his rescue, and bullet fragments are still stuck inside his head. Weighing just 15kg, Bandit was diagnosed with Lyme disease and an infection, but is miraculously still battling to survive.
