An eight-month-old Rottweiler is experiencing a slow recovery after being beaten in Ajax a month ago, officials said Thursday.
Vets believed the pup, which they’ve since named Geoffrey, was making progress in his recovery until they discovered what could be swelling in his brain or eye area, and vision loss.
Two witnesses found the puppy Jan. 30 when they followed the sound of what seemed to be a man screaming in distress behind the McLean Community Centre.
Once they reached the scene, they saw a man beating the crying puppy with closed fists.
“The individuals that saw the suspect (said he) was beating the dog quite violently,” Officer Debby Houghton, of the Humane Society of Durham Region, said Thursday.
The pair were able to scare the man away after yelling at him to stop.
They initially thought Geoffrey was dead, but the pup was able to get up after five minutes. He had bloodshot eyes and was bleeding from the nose.
The dog was taken to the University of Guelph Thursday morning for further examination.
“He’s a very sweet puppy,” Houghton said. “He deserves the best.”
The Humane Society of Durham Region is offering a $1,000 reward for information on the attacker or the dog. Contact the investigations department at 905-665-7430.
((I don't think I'd be collecting the reward. I'd probably be returning the favour))
