One of the biggest animal rescue stories of 2023 has made a big comeback.
Fish, a nine-year-old Labrador retriever mix, wandered out of the woods in July in a remote area of Enderby, close to Kingfisher. He was skin and bones and covered in sores when he was brought into BC SPCA91裸聊视频檚 animal centre in Shuswap by a Good Samaritan who found him.
With a body score of one out of nine, Fish required a veterinarian-supervised feeding program to help him gain weight and muscle mass he lost after not eating for such a lengthy period. He also had dental surgery to remove the infected and broken teeth in his mouth.
