Gary Sharp 216 Report post Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Lani f.k.a Mockingjay (The Craik Kennels) the greyhound was recently attacked by a pack of three Labrador X dogs and sustained horrific and life threatening injuries. She is in a stable condition but will require multiple surgeries, skin grafts and ongoing medical care and rehabilitation. Although her family have pet insurance this will only partly offset the cost of her care. Jean is a very active member of the pet greyhound community and a passionate volunteer with the charity Greyhounds As Pets NZ. She is always the first to offer to help others and this is our chance to help her and her family in return. Thank you for your support and generosity. It is greatly appreciated. 100% of the funds raised will go towards the cost of Lani's veterinary care, surgery and rehabilitation. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Can we please have no negative comments as this is a time for us greyhound family to come together. https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/emergency-vet-care-for-lani-the-greyhound-after-ho# Sorry if anyone is offended by the graphic nature of the pic.

They are pretty bad but she's hanging in there. She is getting the best care there is at VSA but there is still a long way to go. The thing that sucks about all this is Lani is a lovely girl & wouldn't hurt a fly. The thing that really gets up my nose about it is that the owner of the 3 dogs that did this didn't stick around to make sure she was ok or give her details. 1 J May reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The photo was only to show the extent of her injuries nothing more. I hold no bad feelings towards you Steve as I've known you for a quite a few years during my time in greyhounds & I respect that to you what I put may be taken the wrong way. 1 jasonmccook1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is a kind hearted person who has always dived into his pockets to help a greyhound in need when asked. I think on this occasion that it is my fault for putting up the pic of her injuries & if any of the members wish & ask me to I would be more then happy to remove the pic from the post if it is possible. 2 BackPoonDrinkGoon and Emotive reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree Gary. Houndfan is far from heartless. Could be wrong but I think his point was more about nasties using the photos against the sport when they are not sport related. It's a common tactic they employ for their cause. Good on you for caring Gary and I hope Lani makes a full recovery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
