Almost Put Down
If it weren’t for their family, Khan might have been put to sleep. When he first arrived at the shelter, Khan was in horrible shape. You could clearly see the sign of abuse. Catherine once spoke of his previous condition: “When Kerry Kinder (Doberinling Boarding Kennels owner) rescued him, he was starving, had broken ribs and had been beaten – he was an abused dog…It was borderline on whether or not he should be put down because he was in such a bad way.”
Further Insight
Looking back on Khan’s abusive background, Catherine was able to understand why Khan had behaved that way around her child. She clarified, “He was starving for attention and wanted to be loved because he came from an abused home, so I’m not surprised about what he has done at his new home.” With the thoughts of Khan’s abusive past, Catherine was determined to give Khan a better chance at life. Thus, Catherine needed to talk to her dog’s vet.
