Carly Kendall, a resident of Layton, Utah, owns Coconut, a Husky who is 18 months old. The dog owner, who works as an administrative assistant at a healthcare facility, has three of this breed.
Coco, or Coconut, is one of the animals she recently rescued. The Husky spent her first six months of life in a kennel before Carly brought her into her home. Coco is the kindest and most friendly of her three Huskies, but she also causes the most mischief, according to the dog enthusiast.
When she gets into trouble, she is often accompanied by her other pets. But one day, Coco’s antics nearly cost her her life.
Carly and her family were still asleep when Coco and another Husky called Axel cut a way through their yard fence and escaped from their home. The canines raced to a nearby ranch and began to play with the sheep. The ranch owner observed the Huskies chasing his sheep and attempted to scare them away.
Sadly, Coco and Axel did not go away. The rancher wished to defend his flock, so he drew his shotgun and fired. Coco was struck, and the two dogs fled.
Carly noticed upon awakening that two of her dogs were missing. Coco wore a GPS collar, so she was not concerned. When she verified her whereabouts, though, the dog owner became apprehensive. She was not too far away, and she was standing still.
Typically, Coco would be on the move and considerably farther from their residence. Carly rushed to the scene and saw Axel running frantically around his injured friend. The dog’s owner quickly retrieved her pet and rushed her to the veterinarian. Immediately, a veterinarian stabilized her condition.
The veterinarian stated that Coco’s collar absorbed the fatal shots. Coco would have likely bled out faster and perished if she hadn’t been wearing the bandage.
Carly also stated that the GPS helped her locate her injured dog immediately. Without it, Coco may not have made it to the hospital in time.
