Haviland Bay dog seriously injured by arrow

Monday, November 23, 2015 by: Darren TaylorA Haviland Bay woman is distraught after her dog was seriously wounded Monday morning.
Tina Fascina told SooToday she was taking Remington, her German Shorthaired Pointer, for his daily morning walk in Haviland Bay around 8 a.m.
Remington wandered off and returned to Fascina less than five minutes later, having been shot with an arrow.
Whoever shot Remington had cut off the tip of the arrow.
OPP have been called in to investigate.
"He's like my son," sobbed Fascina, speaking to SooToday.
Fascina took Remington, who is 15 months old, to a Sault veterinarian.
The local vet could not provide the needed treatment for the serious injury.
Fascina, accompanied by her husband, is taking Remington by car to the Michigan State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Lansing, Michigan for proper treatment of his injuries.
"We have Remington on intravenous painkillers, we're about three hours away from there (Lansing)," Fascina told SooToday when reached by cellphone at 1 p.m.
It is not known if the shooting was accidental or malicious.
No one has come forward regarding the shooting.

This came up on my Facebook feed. Remi is going to be okay. Tina posted the pics -- it was a straight through but missed all the vital organs. He's in recovery and responding well.

I'm glad the pup will be OK. I hope the OPP find out how this happened. If it was deliberate,someone needs an arse kickin'.

Poor dog. Some sick people out their.

Arse kicking. I could think of 100 better ways to deal with the person IF it was deliberate.

...

there're quite a few things that a regular vet cannot do.
unfortunately been there...
if there's something really serious, I would rather call them up (instead of wasting time driving there) and ask straight out if they can confirm they will be able to treat the dog properly. you may need to be pretty precise in the diagnosis and talk to the vet and not the receptionist.
if they are not positive, they should provide you the contact info of the nearest adequate clinic.
call those guys up as well and confirm if they really can help (they may not have qualified staff on site without arrangements).

it turns out it was archery practice arrow otherwise the dog would've bled to death; especially for his size.

my dad and I had a similar almost incident up in wolf's den just north of cookstown, it was just us two at the time in the morning. we were setting up the crossbow for 35-40 yards; then suddenly a dog starts to run across the range chasing a butterfly. we stopped and looked; my dad jokingly said, oh we get a live target to shoot for fun? I said I'll go see the manager in the wolf's den. in the end turns out the lady who has a property next to it, did not put a leash on the dog for wireless electric fence and just ran around free.

the manager said; the lady was warned over and over, if someone shoots the dog by accident or incidentally; its not the person's fault the since the range is always live.

It is always the shooters fault. You are responsible for that bullet, or arrow, when it leaves your firearm. " Identify your target, and what's beyond your target".

Isn't it required to have a dog leashed in a public area?

It is always the shooters fault. You are responsible for that bullet, or arrow, when it leaves your firearm. " Identify your target, and what's beyond your target".

it is also the owner's responsibility to have the dog leashed or controlled at all the time. As I know I am responsible for every bullet and arrow that leaves my presence.
