Andre the dog is recovering

The incredible recovery of Andre the dog: The brave pooch used as target practice found with eyes gouged out and left for dead has a new family


A small dog found with his eyes gouged out and nearly dead of starvation last month is slowly recovering thanks to his new owner.

Andre the dog was apparently used for target practice with a BB gun and discovered tied up inside a plastic bag inside a dumpster in Phoenix, Arizona.

Susie Hopkins, Andre's foster caretaker, says after surgery his eye sockets are healing well and he has a good appetite.

...

PETA has offered a $1,000 reward for information on Andre's abuser. The Animal Guardian Network has said it will match that amount, raising the total reward to $2,000.

PETA Director Martin Mersereau has meanwhile condemned the person responsible, and emphasised the importance of finding the assailant.
