The Montrose County sheriff is looking for whoever shot a Labrador in the head and threw her in a canal, left for dead.
A woman found the yellow Labrador retriever crawling out of the canal on Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said.
“She was in shock. She was a real sweet dog, even in the midst of that,” sheriff’s animal control officer Charles Long told the Montrose Daily Press.
Long told the newspaper that the dog was shot with a small caliber weapon in the top of her head behind her left eye. The bullet passed through the yellow Lab cleanly, exiting below her jaw. She was taken to the veterinarian’s office and was kept overnight for observation. The Labrador survived without loss to vision or other impairments, said Montrose County spokeswoman Katie Yergensen.
Yergensen said the dog’s owners were located on Wednesday. The owners noted that their dog, Bella, ran away on Sunday and had been missing for three days.
Sheriff Rick Dunlap said he wants to find the person who committed such a violent act on the animal.
“If anyone knows who did this, I want to prosecute. Talk about animal cruelty,” Dunlap told the paper.
The canal where the Labrador was found is at Olathe near Amber and 60.00 Roads.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 970-252-4023.
