Dr. Summer Roper, left, lets Grace the dog enter the lobby of Browns Bridge Animal Hospital for a visit by Anna Roberts, center, and Susan Kemp. The dog is still under Roper’s care following surgery to remove a collar emedded in her neck. A local rescue, Evelyn’s Place, found the dog along Athens Highway.
A neglected and severely injured dog is on her way to recovery after being rescued almost two weeks ago. The American bulldog mix, named Grace, was discovered along Athens Highway on the morning of Nov. 16 with a neck wound so extreme veterinarians were surprised she was still alive. “Grace was found with a gentleman walking up the street with her neck slit basically from ear to ear, practically trachea-deep, and some good Samaritans cared enough to stop and ask the gentleman what his intentions were with the dog,” said T.C. Reynolds, owner of Evelyn’s Place, a Gainesville-based animal rescue currently caring for Grace.
