Chihuahua found with arrow through neck expected to survive

THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. (AP) — Southern California authorities say a chihuahua puppy shot through the neck with an arrow in is expected to survive. The Riverside County Animal Services agency says a woman reported to 911 that she found the wounded dog Monday in a neighborhood near Desert Hot Springs after hearing it screaming. The 4-month-old female was brought to veterinarians who determined the arrow did not strike vital arteries and removed it. Animal Services Director Erin Gettis says it is disgusting that someone willfully shot the puppy. Gettis says the agency will continue treating the puppy and work to find her a home.
