Has anyone heard or seen the story on Phoenix, the Chow Chow found in Durham area? Apparently, his owner abandoned him and he was found is someone's backyard. He has some skin disease which has destroyed his nose. The Durham SPCA has offered a $2500 reward to find the owner who abandoned the poor dog.
He has now been diagnosed with terminal tongue cancer. I think they're just deciding if he should be fostered for his remaining days or be euthanized.
I just feel so bad for this poor dog and I hope they do catch his owner. If he or she couldn't afford the treatment, the least they could do is surrender him to the SPCA. Give me a break....I would rather have that on my conscience than knowing I have a bounty on my head and that I let an animal suffer.
Here's a link to the info on Pheonix from the Durham SPCA - http://www.humanedurham.com/phoenix%20updates.htm
The reward is more than $5000 now.
