GALLUP A Gallup homeowner awoke to find a stray dog with an arrow lodged through its head resting on her back porch.
[....]
Officers Romie Calderon and Edward Becenti cornered the Australian Shephard mix in the backyard of the 1925 Milda St. residence and lassoed it around the waist to transport it safely into a nearby van.
"There was no resistance at all," Calderon said of the dog who remained calm despite its injury. "It was functioning well and was conscious."
Cedar Animal Medical Center doctors determined the arrow lodged underneath muscle inside the dog's head and did not puncture its brain.
The dog is expected to require about a week to recuperate and will be available for adoption, if it is not claimed by an owner.
Balok said the Humane Society is offering an award of $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads the arrest and conviction of the individual who harmed the dog.
