Sherrifs Rescue Dog Frozen to Ground [View all]

?w=300&h=165


A Sheltie mix named Peanut was expected to make a full recovery after deputies found him frozen to the ground in sub-zero temperatures in the backyard of a home in Jasper, Ind.

“About five ’til 11:00 last night, our department received an anonymous call about some dogs that were being left outside,” Stuart Wilson with the Dubois County Sheriff’s Office told 14 News.

When deputies arrived they discovered two dogs, one outside on a leash and another inside a dog house.

“A barrel-style dog house. But it was not, certainly not appropriate for the temperatures we had last night. The dog, its stomach and feet and tail had frozen to feces that was in the pen. They took warm water and poured it over the dog to free it from the floor,” Wilson told the station.

Not the case in ranch country, in my limited experience. BTW, that £20,000 fine is a fortune. freshwest Jan 2014 #17
The figure I mentioned was the max. Other penalties can apply dependent of circumstances. dipsydoodle Jan 2014 #18
Good outcome there, remarkable sensitivity shown in the language applied to the case. freshwest Jan 2014 #19
