A family's German Shepherd was recovering Friday night after being shot multiple times and Miami-Dade County Animal Services is hoping the public will help find the shooter.
Investigators say the dog, names Oso, was intentionally shot twice Thursday morning outside his home near 27th Avenue and Northwest 123rd Street.
The Miami-Dade County Animal Services veterinarian amputated Oso's leg but said the dog is expected to make a full recovery.
The shooter will face criminal charges for animal cruelty.
If you have any information about the shooting call Enforcement Supervisor Sean Gallagher at (305) 418-7184 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
