Henderson Animal Control sends dog to Louisville, says someone tried cutting its head off

KENTUCKY -- A black lab is receiving medical treatment in Louisville after the Henderson County Humane Society says someone tried to cut it's head off.

The Arrow Fund, based in Louisville, took another dog last week for treatment after Henderson Animal Control says it was hit by a car on purpose.

 

Thursday, the Arrow Fund took Hercules to Louisville for treatment after someone tried cutting it's head off.

The humane society says someone brought the dog in after they saw him stumbling around their yard.

At first, they thought the dog was accidentally injured but after the humane society took the dog to the vet, they found something much different.

"He was looking at it and I said are you sure it couldn't have been from a collar or you know another accidental thing and he said and he said that he probably couldn't not have made a cleaner cut with a scalpel so he believed that it was very deliberate with a very sharp object," said Courtney Dosche.
Animal Control is investigating and trying to figure out who did this.

They say Hercules is expected to live.
