Dog Recovers after Skiing Accident, $2k Surgery Needed

March 23, 2009, Columbus, OH: Dare devil dog or irresponsible owners?  You be the judge.rossi

Sunday afternoon, a thirteen year old Pekingese canine was found dazed and hurt shortly after launching off a jump.  Rumor has it that the incident happened in Ohio after all ski resorts had closed for the winter.

According to inside sources the dog’s name is Rossi and he suffered ruptured tendons in his left rear foot.  At his age surgery may be his only option if he ever wants to walk again.  Jumping for this canine may also become a thing of the past.

Shortly after this story went public, debate started whether or not the owners whose names have not been released yet were irresponsible for letting the dog do something he enjoyed no matter the risk.  Surgery is scheduled for sometime at the end of March.  In the meanwhile, Rossi is walking in a splint and getting plenty of bed rest.

A SavethePeke.com website was created to help share the story and sell t-shirts to help raise money for the surgery.  Proceeds from product sales at http://www.zazzle.com/crossi10 will go towards the surgery and recovery.  Any additional funds received will be set aside for other dogs in need.
