A Golden Retriever, with the appropriate name Orphan Annie, is continuing to recover after being found shot and dying by the side of the road in Northern Minnesota.
Annie is currently being cared for at the University of Minnesota Veterinarian Hospital where she's gone through surgery to recover from her wounds.
"She's a very sweet little girl," said Kelly Tart, one of assistant clinical professors over at the U of M Vet Clinic's intensive care unit.
The veterinarians guess Annie is 2 or 3 years old. She came to hospital from a humane society in Northern Minnesota where she was found shot, dying in a snow bank.
"They found multiple bullet wounds in her diaphragm and that went through her stomach," explained Tart. "Basically through both sides of her stomach."
Surgeons operated on Annie this weekend, having to remove part of her stomach and close the wounds. But they say given all she's been through, she's doing very well.
Right now she needs to get sleep so she can start healing. Even though her condition is tenuous, the U of M vets are optimistic. Tart said they're pulling for her like everyone else.
"She's a good girl. I hope she pulls through this and finds a good home," she said.
