Sorry for the image but this needs to be shared! What is happening to our country!! ITV REPORT 23 October 2014 at 10:50am Dog shot through the head with crossbow The RSPCA is appealing for information after a dog was found with a crossbow bolt through his skull near Peterborough. Ziggy was found wandering with the bolt through his head Credit: RSPCA Ziggy, a two-year-old Staffy, was found in a very remote piece of woodland near Wansford with a 20 inch carbon fibre weapon sticking into one side of his head and out the other side. Were sure poor Ziggy was probably roaming about in the middle of nowhere for a couple of days with this bolt stuck in his head. He would have been terrified, and in complete agony. – RSPCA INSPECTOR JUSTIN STUBBS Ziggy was spotted by two passers-by as they drove down the rural road, and they took him straight to a vet, who then called the RSPCA. The bolt missed Ziggys vital organs by millimetres The bolt missed Ziggys vital organs by millimetres Credit: RSPCA The vet operated on him immediately and removed the bolt. They found that it had deflected off the skull and missed Ziggys organs by millimetres. Despite this bolt going straight through Ziggys head it miraculously missed his brain, ear capsule and eyes - I could not quite believe it. Whoever did this took a very intentional shot at very close range. It really broke my heart this one. What really got me was the way Ziggy sat there, with that bolt through his head, wagging his tail at me in such a good natured way - asking for a bit of a fuss. – RSPCA INSPECTOR JUSTIN STUBBS Ziggy has now had the bolt removed. Ziggy is currently recovering from the operation however the RSPCAs warning these nasty wounds can be susceptible to infection and the next few days will be the key to seeing how he recovers.
