Stray dog suffered numerous injuries, including fractured pelvis
A stray dog is recovering at the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) after he was recently struck by a car in Boston and suffered a broken pelvis, among other injuries.
Bingo, a one-year-old Border Collie mix, was found at the intersection of American Legion Highway and Blue Hill Avenue in the early morning hours of November 27 by Boston Animal Control, who immediately transported him to an emergency veterinary clinic to assess his injuries.
Once the dog was stabilized, he was transported to ARL’s Boston Animal Care and Adoption Center for further treatment and care.
The injuries this dog sustained are consistent with being hit by a car.
Along with a broken pelvis, Bingo suffered a number of lacerations requiring stitches, a chest x-ray revealed moderate to severe lung bruising and a mild pneumothorax.
Bingo is on the road to recovery and will require strict crate rest and short leash walks for the next month or so as his injuries heal.
Despite his condition, Bingo is incredibly friendly and outgoing and while he is not available for adoption right now, ARL is looking forward to finding Bingo the home he deserves in early 2024.
