Injured Dog Recovering in Tyler

TYLER — A pit bull found in Gregg County last week is on the road to recovery. KETK reports the dog’s collar was wrapped so tightly it had dug into his neck. The dog, named Nikolas, is in Tyler now, getting some high-tech treatment. Over the next few weeks, Nikolas will go through daily regimens of laser therapy. Considering the abuse, Nik’s recovery is expected to be fairly short. Veterinarian Dr. Gary Spence, who’s been working with Nikolas, says within two weeks or so, the dog should be back on his feet and ready for adoption.
