SISTERS, Ore. (AP) - A 2-year-old dog named Stewie ran off from his owners’ home in Sisters and returned Sunday with an arrow in his thigh.

Auto repairman Terry Rollins (https://bit.ly/1jcvzzz ) tells The Bulletin newspaper of Bend that Stewie had $2,000 worth of surgery and other treatment and is lucky the arrow didn’t hit his heart. It left scratches on his belly. The surgery took 3 ½ hours.

Stewie is a Pekingese-dachshund mix. He was well enough Tuesday to resume going to the shop with his owner.



The Deschutes County sheriff’s office said a juvenile boy had been cited for animal abuse, and the case has been sent to the prosecutor’s office.
