The dog had deep wounds to her face, head, and shoulder, along with a fractured jaw. The staff veterinarian, Dr. Brenda Cheong, says the deep cuts seemed very new and caused by a sharp object, like a knife or machete.

"I’ve never seen such a brutal attack on a dog with multiple, deep lacerations like that," said Dr. Cheong. "She is now in recovery, currently in stable condition and will be monitored closely while she begins to heal," said Cheong.
