This afternoon I heard a group of kids laughing like
maniacs in front of my house. I went outside to see
what was going on and found the kids using their
feet to shove around this tiny little grey dog.I yelled
at the kids to leave the dog alone and then called the
little guy to me and brought him into my fenced back
yard. Buddy is not very dog friendly with dogs he doesn't
know, so I kept Bud inside. On closer inspection, the dog
is a intact, mature male Lhasa Apso , with grey coloring.
He appears to have mange on his back end, and is missing
fur in those areas. I called Animal Care and Control & an
officer came to take him in. She seemed like a very caring
person, and told me she would tell Rosie Ellis from the
Southside Animal Shelter (no-kill) about this guy in the
morning. Rosie rescues animals from local pounds all
over the State and actually had more dogs & cats adopted
out last year than the local pound. I'm trying to think positive
about this little guy and my question is this;
mange is treatable isn't it ?
