Pregnant dog found on side of road in Detroit with dead puppy hanging out of her
(CBS DETROIT) - A pregnant dog was rescued after she was found on the side of the side of a Detroit road in critical condition with a dead puppy hanging out of her.
The dog, who is now named Minnie, was rescued by the Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue, a nonprofit that works to pick up sick and injured stray dogs from the streets of Detroit.
Minnie was found in a bin on the side of Eight Mile Road, near Southfield Freeway after the rescue received a call about the dog.
Minnie was found earlier today left in a bin on the side of the road in Detroit in critical condition. We had her rushed to a veterinary hospital for care. Thankfully she survived emergency surgery but sadly all five of her unborn puppies were deceased. Please continue praying for her full recovery as she is not out of the woods yet. Thank you so much for everyone that has donated towards her medical care. You are all truly life savers. ❤️🐾
