Ottawa dog beaten with shovel requires extensive surgery

Breezy, a Labrador/Shepherd cross, was beaten with a metal shovel and leaving her for dead in a dumpster in October 2013.

Breezy has gaping wounds and could possibly have a fractured skull. The 18 month old dog is on heavy pain medication but is able to take short walks. Breezy is also responding to her own name.

Her owner, 24-year-old Steven Helfer, has been charged with attacking Breezy.

She requires major surgery which will be very expensive. If you would like to donate go to: ottawahumane.ca/breezy
