The Guelph Humane Society says a Great Dane-cross puppy that was found wandering on Waterloo Avenue on Oct. 1 is doing well after extensive surgery.
In a news release on Tuesday, the organization said Bentley was brought to them suffering from an old, untreated fracture to his left leg bone.
“The surgeon performed a complex orthopedic surgery, whereby a part of Bentley’s leg bone was removed in order to ensure a greater range of motion to his hip,” the Humane Society said.

Bentley, who is being cared for in a foster home, will be starting physiotherapy soon and it is estimated his recovery will take up to six weeks.
His surgery and related care costs were over $3,000, the Humane Society said.
