Vet Has ‘Concerns’ About Trooper – Dog Thrown From Moving SUV

Although both the dogs are acting and feeling better, there are some concerns about Trooper and his latest blood work results.

Trooper was the most severely injured beagle coming to the Broome County Humane Society with numerous injuries including two fractured legs, broken ribs, a lung contusion, and more. After X-rays and seeing an orthopedic specialist he had surgery in an attempt to keep both legs, but due to the extent of his injuries, only one could be saved.

The Broome County Humane Society told us Trooper is recovering well, eating, moving around and is in great spirits. They are monitoring him for some concerns relating to his blood test results-which is not uncommon after this type of trauma and surgery. We have authorized additional testing and diagnostics to identify any underlying causes.

Fortunately, Adam who must have some emotional issues after this awful experience has survived with only road rash.

PETA has issued awards to the NYS Troopers and Adam a truck driver who was instrumental in rescuing the dogs. There is also a $16,500 reward (possibly more as PETA has donated another $500) is now being offered in the conviction of the suspect(s) who threw two dogs out of the moving vehicle on Wednesday, December 12, 2018, on I-81 south in Marathon, NY.

A tractor-trailer driver from Syracuse told troopers that he saw the dogs thrown from a dark-colored SUV that he was behind at around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, December 12, 2018. The truck driver stopped on the left side of the road to rescue the dogs and contact authorities. He then used his sweatshirt comfort the severely injured dog until NYS Police arrived.
