Humane society officials are searching for information that will lead them to the identity of a dog that was left with devastating injuries and eventually died while vets tried to save it.

On Friday September 5, 2014, a white female Bulldog cross was found wandering around a strip mall in the Ogden area, in the city’s southeast.

The dog was found by a Good Samaritan who took her to a veterinary clinic.

The clinic staff that admitted her named her “Ruby”.

They say she was suffering from severe neglect and had large facial and hind wounds, severe emaciation, eye and ear infections, and fecal staining of her paws.

Ruby died of her injuries while under anesthetic as veterinarians worked to repair her most serious injuries.

“This poor dog had no permanent identifi­cation and as a result we are very limited in our ability to investigate further,” says Brad Nichols, Manager, Cruelty Investi­gations. “This is some of the most severe overall neglect I have witnessed and, most certainly, would warrant charges for animal cruelty. We are asking for the public’s help in finding the owner or caretaker of this dog. If you recognize this dog or have information relevant to this investigation, we ask that you please call the Calgary Humane Society at 403-205- 4455”.
