Family seeks help with expenses after dog hit by car
Friday, May 25th, 2007SARANAC - Luigi wasn’t accustomed to running loose outside his home on Summit Street in Saranac, but on Wednesday, May 9, he had snuck past owners Robert and Jennifer Belt - and made his way into the roadway.
That’s when the 2-year-old Italian Greyhound was struck and dragged by a truck, causing extensive injuries to his front legs, including one that was completely torn bare of skin.
Luigi was rushed to Sterner’s Veterinarian office in Ionia, which referred the Belt family to the Michigan State University Small Animal Clinic.
