fter spending several days trapped in toxic sewage in Dunoon a severely injured dog was pulled to safety by Cheryl Lyn Potgieter, founder of Cheryl Lyn’s Rescue Organisation. Despite her efforts, the rescue
“I COULD ONLY SEE HIS BLACK HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE FILTHY WATER’
ended in heartbreak when the dog’s condition proved too severe to recover. The rescue unfolded on Monday afternoon after Potgieter received a distress call from residents. “When I arrived I could only
see his black head sticking out of the filthy water,” she said. “All I could think was, ‘how did he survive since Friday?’ The sewage and oil were so bad his poor body must have absorbed the poison.”
Potgieter waded into the contaminated water armed only with her catch pole. “He was about 20kg, dead weight and there was no other way to get him out. I was drenched and exhausted, but I couldn’t leave him there.”
