Sophie was in an isolated area. The only way to see it was to fly over the sector. The plane was the only way to reach the place in question.

Thanks to the financial support and the green light from Little Grand Rapids First Nation, local Native American communities, the theft may have taken place. 2 days later, Sophie was finally sure.

She was then transported to Winnipeg and admitted to a veterinary clinic. Vets managed to remove the collar, which was embedded in the skin on his neck and had caused a deep and infected wound. She was breathing very badly and was terribly sore because of this accessory.

“She’s getting better and better”

Debra Vandekerkhove believe the dog had a family when she was younger and either escaped or was left to keep her little collar that surrounded her as she grew.

He will also have to learn to trust people again. Sophieis still a little hesitant around people, but she is getting better and better », ends Debra Vandekerkhove.
