Dog recovering after being found in garbage bag alongside highway

Associated Press

CAMPBELLSPORT — A poodle mix named Benji is recovering after being found tied in a garbage bag and dumped in a roadside ditch.

Capt. Dean Will of the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday that a bicyclist riding in the Lake Bernice area Monday night noticed the bag and saw it was moving, so he stopped, opened it up and found the little white dog.

Jean North, a receptionist at Wright Veterinary Service, said Benji was malnourished when he was brought in, and he couldn’t see.

“His eyes were matted shut,” she said.

But he was given food and a haircut and has been doing well, except that he still has trouble walking, she said.

If the dog isn’t adopted out, it could become an office dog, North said.

The sheriff’s department so far has no leads on who dumped the dog, Will said Friday.

“We’re just glad it’s alive,” he said. “How an individual could do that to an animal is really hard to accept.”

This is just like throwing a baby in a dumpster. If nobody wants it, just give it up for adoption!!!! What's so hard about that?
