Dog burned in fire on mend, still needs care
0113dog2
Kali, a 4-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever, has her muzzle stroked Thursday by veterinary technician Sandra Dale at the Clermont Veterinary Hospital. The dog is recovering after suffering second- and third-degree burns on over 50 percent of her body after a shed fire Dec. 30.
Even after Kali was badly burned in a shed fire she was trapped in two weeks ago, the 4-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever is described as “a loving girl with a big heart.” Kali’s owner awoke to barks the morning of Dec. 30 after strong winds knocked over a heat lamp in a shed approximately 20 feet from the owner’s house. Although her owner was able to extinguish the fire on the dog and in the shed, Kali suffered second- and third-degree deep tissue burns on over 50 percent of her body.
