Dog found with an arrow through its neck in American battles for survival; Internet user says that the person responsible does not 'deserve to breathe'

Animal services in the US found a four-month-old dog with an arrow in his neck.

The arrow is almost as long as the dog's body. A woman reported to 911 that she found the injured dog Monday in a neighborhood near the town of Desert Hot Springs after hearing the pup "scream," Riverside County Animal Services said in a statement. RivCO animalSERVICES tweeted: “This happened today, and our team saved the dog's life. Many thanks to @RSO for his great help! Terrible act! @RivCoNow #Chihuahua #veterinarycare #animalcruelty.” Veterinary staff determined the arrow missed the pup's vital arteries and it was removed, reports nypost.com. "For someone to intentionally shoot this poor pup with an arrow is disgusting," Animal Services Director Erin Gettis said in the statement. "We are shocked and hope someone can provide us with information about who did this." After seeing the picture, netizens were furious. One commented: "Whoever did this doesn't 'deserve to breathe'."
