She came to the attention of Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform who described Hattie as โmay be the worst owner surrender we have taken in.โ
Hattie was immediately taken to Vet Ranchโs Dr. Karri, who remarked that she had never seen a tumor that large on a dog Hattieโs size before. Dallas Dog RRR likened the tumor to a bowling ball!
Dr. Karri noted how off balance Hattie was because of the tumor weighing her down. She also noted how Mattie would lay on it like it was a beanbag chair! Can you imagine?
Dr. Karri was both nervous and excited before Hattieโs surgery (note: the video below does not contain any graphic imagery). After her surgery, Hattie is like a brand new dog! The tumor, by the way, was 15 pounds!
Hattieโs recovery wasnโt without a few setbacks but she got through them and went into foster care.
And she went on to find a wonderful forever home thanks to her rescuers!
To think, Hattie was almost euthanized because of her previous ownerโs neglect. But thankfully, her rescue has a happy ending!
