Brave mongrel survives horrifying crossbow attack

A brave mongrel was twice shot in the head by callous thugs - with a crossbow.

Amazingly, the friendly brindle mongrel, named Beau by nurses at the veterinary surgery, survived the vicious attack which left two crossbow bolts embedded in her skull.

It is thought Beau, who has only just been taken out of intensive care after a major two-hour operation, was fired at by two disgusting yobs at point blank range.

And she underwent the drastic surgery on Thursday morning to remove the distinctive bolts.

Staff believe she was shot by two yobs at the same time because the bolts went in at different angles.

Angry vet Steve Dixon, of Calder Veterinary Group, said: "We think there were two people firing two separate crossbows at the same time at point blank range. There is no way she would have just sat there after being hit by the first one."

He added: "It's likely that, because it's such a friendly dog, it has been beckoned towards whoever has shot it and they have then shot it at point blank range twice in the head - they've tried to kill it."
