Milo underwent surgery to stitch up wounds all over his body, including a large gash on his neck.
Furever Freed founder Lisa Gaye – where Reinhart first adopted Milo – said the dog is “lucky to be alive.”
Reinhart first adopted Milo in February, from Furever Freed Dog Rescue B.C. in Langley. He was recovered from Mexico.
Gaye continues to urge people in Langley to keep their dogs on-leash while out for walks.
On Saturday, Reinhart posted a video update, detailing that Milo made it out of surgery and is “now on a lot of pain meds.”
