Sheriff seeks public help finding dog’s owner
A male shih tzu found Tuesday in North Idaho had hair so matted over 60 percent of his body that the dog had difficulty walking.
Now the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating the owner of the dog (shown, left, before grooming). The dog was found near Ramsey Road and state Highway 54 in Athol, a news release from the sheriff said.
After being groomed (right), the dog now has learned to walk again and has rebuilt the muscles that had atrophied, the release said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office animal control at (208) 446-1300.
