Pit mix found with arrow through his head
A pit bull mix — who looks like he has a little Great Dane in him, as well — was found this week wandering the streets of southwest Atlanta with an arrow through his head.
The reward for information leading to the perpetrator had risen by Friday to $6,000 — including a $5,000 donation from Norred & Associates, an Atlanta-based security firm, according to WTVM.
A Fulton County Animal Control officer discovered the 1-year-old dog on Kenner Drive after a resident contacted Atlanta police.
The dog was taken for emergency veterinary care and the arrow was removed.
Once he recovers from his injuries the dog, who has been nicknamed Arrow, will be available for adoption.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Fulton County Animal Services at (404) 613-0358.

Catchy name, “Arrow”. Now, if only someone named “Oblio” would adopt him…

I’ll say it again–pit bulls have SO much more to fear from people than we ever will from them. Humans are by far the most dangerous animal on the planet. And the truly remarkable thing? This dog will almost certainly end up being incredibly loving toward people, and will be an awesome family member for someone despite this sick act of cruelty.
