Mystery donor pays vet bill for hero pit bull injured by machete



She's loyal and brave, but it seems the most inspirational thing about Mercey is her name. The 4-year-old pit bull courageously defended her owner from four male attackers in an Edmonton, Alberta, home invasion, but she suffered two life-threatening stab wounds from a machete in the process. After the owner, police officers and veterinary staff all kicked in more than $1,000 for her care, the mercy of an anonymous donor who walked in off the street and dropped another $1,000 on the counter covered the final expenses. Now the dog is on the mend and moving around on her own and the four attackers have been charged with assault and animal cruelty. [Source]
