KERHONKSON – A stray dog that had been wandering in the woods in the Accord-Kerhonkson area for about seven weeks, was found last week having been shot straight through her abdomen with an arrow.
The projectile had gone straight through her body and extended out both sides.
It took the persistent searching of Jean Spolijaric and long-time friend, animal control officer Jill Schufeldt, with the aid of a good Samaritan with a heat-seeking drone, to locate the dog last week and rush her to an animal hospital.
Unfortunately, she had suffered internal damage and infection and had to be euthanized.
Now, comes the investigation as to how she was wounded, said Spolijaric.
“We’d love to be able to find out who did this. People talk, people brag, people laugh, so we thought the more people who are aware of it, the better for the dog,” she said.
Spolijaric called whoever shot the dog “a heartless monster.”
She said the Ulster SPCA and State Police are assisting in the investigation.
