It was a close call for a beloved pet when the dog was found impaled on a fence in Isipingo Beach on Friday, 4 December.
“While patrolling in the Isipingo Beach area, concerned residents alerted response officers to the injured dog,” said Alpha Alarms communications officer, Krishnee Naidoo.
The dog was found alive, but hanging from a spiked fence. It had impaled its hind legs between the spikes and was hanging precariously about a metre off the ground.
“Fortunately concerned neighbours had contacted the SPCA, who arrived at the scene within 10 minutes. They carefully muzzled the dog and, with the assistance of response officers and a concerned neighbour, they were able to lift the dog off the spikes.
The owners of the dog were contacted and the dog was transported to the nearest vet for treatment,” said Krishnee.
