EVERETT, MASS. (WHDH) - A dog is now in recovery after being injured in the middle of Route 16 in Everett on Wednesday night.
Two good samaritans rescued the dog who was stuck in the middle of Route 16 after being seriously injured. Chris Desrochers and Jamie-Lee Hersey were driving by, saw the dog in the road and got him to safety before calling for help.
Desrochers, said “I end up seeing one of my childhood friends in the middle of the road, and I stopped and I say, ‘Hey Jamie are you okay?’ She said, ‘Chris I need your help.'”
The two friends waited for Everett Animal Control to arrive between some roadside barrels. The dog was taken to Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital with serious injuries.
Everett Animal Control said the dog will now heal from surgery and then move into a foster home until officials complete their investigation. If the dog’s owner is not found, he will go up for adoption.
It is unclear if the dog was dumped in the road or if he ran away from somewhere. Anyone with information on the dog or possible owners is asked to contact Animal Control at 617-387-1212.
