Fido Survives Mercy Killing, Outlives Master

When Fido was injured by a car last summer, a neighbor shot the dog to put it out of its misery. But Fido survived and the community rallied to help him get well.

Now, the German shepherd mix has outlived his master and the same neighbors are trying to find Fido a new home.

The dog’s owner, 73-year-old Lynn Wold, was buried Thursday, leaving Fido without a place to live.

“I just know that Lynn would be really upset to have the dog put to sleep,” said neighbor Darla Siewert. She would take Fido herself but already has two dogs and six cats.
