It worries me when I see a dog, without an owner, roaming near a busy road.

“I know a lot of dogs become defensive when they get hurt. She was not defensive at all. She was accepting of me trying to pet her and take care of her,” Deputy Fiorelli said.
The dog, who had nothing to identify her, is being cared for at the Osceola County Animal Shelter. She is expected to make a full recovery.

If the owner doesn’t come forward she will get the surgery she needs and a forever home will be found for her.
