A witness who heard punching and choking noises and someone screaming at the puppy called the Ottawa Humane Society’s emergency line around 10 a.m. on April 14.

The injured dog name Sadie by Ottawa Humane Society staff was rushed in for emergency medical treatment.

“She was in a serious, life-threatening state. She was so unstable, we weren’t sure she was going to make it,” Dr. Shelley Hutchings, the humane society’s chief veterinarian said in a statement.

Sadie was given oxygen, fluids through intravenous therapy, and medication for the pain, to stop her brain from swelling and to clear fluid from her lungs.

Hutchings said Sadie was in shock, her body was limp and she could barely breathe. Sadie wouldn’t stop crying and whimpering.

At first, Hutchings thought the puppy may have suffered brain trauma. She had hemorrhaging in the whites of her eyes and her pupils didn’t respond to light.

The day after Sadie was brought to the humane society, her condition began to stabilize.

Sadie was examined by a neurologist and doesn’t appear to have suffered permanent brain damage from her injuries, Hutchings said.

“That’s the amazing thing about a young brain. It heals,” she said. “I don’t know if an older dog would have fared quite as well.”

Dylan Sardinha, 23, is charged with two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 16.
