Maddy the six-year-old Jack Russell still has some fight in her yet.
The beloved pooch was reunited with her Melton owner Karen Blacklaws last week after three weeks at Werribee Animal Hospital.
Maddy was viciously set upon by three large dogs on October 30 while out for a walk with Ms Blacklaws’ husband.
The Jack Russell sustained a punctured lung, neck and spinal injuries and wounds to her legs – the neck wound so deep her microchip was lost in the attack.
But she is on the mend after two intensive surgeries.
“She is such a fighter and with the help of the magnificent staff at U-Vet in Werribee,” Ms Blacklaws said.
“She has come a long way.
“Her injuries with stitches are healing really well … her left side is not as great and she’s not using her legs yet but we hope that with physio she will be fine.”
Ms Blacklaws called for public assistance in finding the owner who lost control of the three dogs that were all on leads at the time of the incident.
“My husband wasn’t sure what breed the three dogs were but described them as very big dogs,” she said.
Ms Blacklaws is urging anyone with information about the attack on October 30 at about 6pm along Sovereign Boulevard near the park to contact Melton council on 9747 7200.
