9/6/23 – Last night I received a call from our friends at Streethearts Animal Rescue. They had gotten a call from a good Samaritan about a dog seen in a Genessee County park. The dog had been seen wandering the park for several days but about 3 days ago the dog was seen with what appeared to be a severe slash to his hip. The wound was infested with maggots of all sizes. The good Samaritan put the Park Ranger on the phone who confirmed the condition and Streethearts went into action to rescue him. The dog, who is very friendly, was picked up and immediately taken to Wilson Veterinary. The medical team reported that they had never seen a worse case of a maggot infestation. (the photo of the wound is much too graphic to post but you can spot some of it in the corner of his hip in one photo.

Gill continues to be in the hospital and we are thankful that because of the generosity of our donors we are able to help Gill with what will be a very significant medical bill. I will update as provided by Streethearts. – diana
