How hero dog saved a stray that had been shot 38 times and left for dead

A HERO dog spent three days by the side of her canine companion shot 38 times with an air gun and left for dead in a ditch.

After barking to alert passers-by, they were found by a walker who called a vet, saving the shot dog’s life.

The 18-month old pointer cross stayed by the two-year-old setter cross with only his head above the water.

The strays – nicknamed Romeo and Juliet – have been moved from the Greek island of Zakynthos to Britain.

Members of the public gave money to Holbrook Animal Rescue in Horsham, West Sussex, to fly them here.

Spokeswoman Laura Santini, 49, said: “It is very rare for two dogs who don’t know each other to be so inseparable.

“They must have lived together.

"She would have starved before leaving him.”

The centre hopes the pair can be rehoused together.

I do hope they find their well-deserved forever home together.
