The dog was found on Hill 60 Ridge, a remote area east of Cowichan Lake.
The BC SPCA is investigating after a dog was found dead with a gunshot wound in its chest near Cowichan Lake on Vancouver Island.
A resident of the Shawnigan Lake area made the discovery and notified the group Find Lost and Escaped Dogs Vancouver Island on May 8. A FLED volunteer located the dead dog in the remote mountain range of Hill 60 Ridge, east of Cowichan Lake. Getting to Hill 60 Ridge requires a nearly 14-kilometre hike that takes more than five hours. “Our animal protection officer was sending the body for a necropsy to determine the cause of death,” says Drever. “We do not have further information at this time.” “Like any other animal, this dog deserves justice and the person who shot this boy needs to be held accountable,” they said.
The dog was wearing a blue harness and collar when it was found lying on the road. FLED also believes the dog was in good shape with healthy teeth. FLED is asking anyone who knows the owner to contact FLED at 250-479-0911 or via or contact the BC SPCA animal helpline at 1-855-622-7722.
