UPDATE: IFAW Rescued Dog "Fernando" Recuperating!
I received an update in my inbox this morning including some photos about Fernando, the dog who had been injured and living with his injuries at a construction site in Dubai.
Here is the note from the vet team there:
"Here are some more photos of Fernando now called ( GIZMO) by the new family . He is doing much better and within few more days his stitches and his drain will be removed.
Surprisingly, he's running like he had 4 legs, he is loving and happy always looking for attention."
A nice ending to what started out as a sad tale...thanks to all the supporters who chimed in on his behalf on the IFAW Facebook Fan page!

International Fund for Animal Welfare
The Animals in Haiti Need Your Support We urgently need your donation to help IFAW's emergency relief teams on the ground in Haiti. Your donation will help us buy the bandages, vaccines, antibiotics and other supplies for our mobile veterinary clinic.
We have partnered with WSPA to mount a coordinated animal relief response, and our team has deployed into the devastated country.
Your donation will go directly into IFAW's Emergency Relief fund, and will be used immediately and where needed most to help the animal victims of Haiti and our Emergency Relief work around the world.
This is a great ending to the story. Animals seem to do okay on three legs. Of course it is important not to let them get overweight.
