OKLAHOMA CITY — Hundreds of people from the United States and Canada
want to adopt an Oklahoma dog that survived an attempt to euthanize it.
The puppy was one of five stray dogs that Sulphur animal control officer
Scott Prall put to sleep Friday — or so he thought. Prall found one of the
dogs alive Saturday in a trash bin set aside for dead animals and took it to
veterinarian technician Amanda Kloski.
"He was prancing around. He heard me drive up, and he looked up and
saw me," Prall said Wednesday.
He said he initially found the stray dog near the animal shelter Friday and
tried to kill it by injecting the dog with two lethal doses of a sedative in a
foreleg and the heart. Each dose should have been enough to kill the dog,
and the second injection was meant to ensure it worked.
