Oregon community helps dog with broken front legs

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — The story of a dog whose front legs were broken by boys with a baseball bat near Klamath Falls may have a happy ending.

The 5-year-old blonde long coat Chihuahua named Heather underwent surgery this week and is expected to walk again.

Kenya Davidson and her roommate spotted the dog when they stopped at a bank ATM last month.

They also saw three boys, about 10 to 12, standing by the dog. One had a baseball bat. They ran.

Davidson took the dog to the Klamath Humane Society shelter.

Efforts to find the dog's owner failed. But she will be available for adoption. Donations to cover her surgery are encouraged.
