Plea for swift help as sick dog awaits aid near Venice
Editorial urges prompt action for distressed domestic animals when owners are unavailable. A stray dog in the midday heat east of Venice received help only after a Samaritan sought aid from the Humane Society of Sarasota County. Neighbors previously contacted Venice Police, the sheriff, and animal control, but only the Humane Society offered immediate assistance. A neighbor then took the dog to a veterinarian, alleviating suffering and enabling treatment for ticks. The piece urges calling the Humane Society in similar cases.
