The dog, identified as “Latlat,” sustained multiple injuries in the incident, including a fractured leg and serious damage to one of her eyes. An animal welfare group intervened after a resident from Purok San Roque sought assistance for the injured animal.
Dr. Aaron Pabalan, Jr., a veterinarian, described the condition Latlat was in when rescuers arrived.
“Pagdating niya, nagbe-bleed na, actually, ang kaniyang eyes, nag-rupture ang kaniyang cornea. Sa assessment namin, may line fracture pa siya sa kaniyang bone. Anemic pa ang dog,” Dr. Pabalan said.

The circumstances surrounding the alleged attack remain under investigation. A resident in the area said the person who allegedly struck Latlat may have been afraid that the dog would bite.
Leah Montano claimed that the dog had been roaming the area without an owner and had previously been involved in biting incidents.
“Ang asong iyan, walang may nag-aalaga sa kaniya. Pagala-gala lang siya, marami na siyang nakagat,” Montano said.
Barangay officials are now helping locate the individual who allegedly hurt the dog. They also appealed to residents to avoid using violence when dealing with stray animals.
“Sana naman, huwag kayong manghampas ng aso. Baka may makapagsabi sa inyo o may makuhanan ng picture,” Barangay Tangub kagawad Luz Atienza said.
Meanwhile, a separate animal-related incident was reported in Barangay Ermita, Dumangas, Iloilo, where two dogs were found dead. Barangay officials suspect that the animals may have been poisoned.
Kagawad Rosemarie Agsam urged pet owners to take greater responsibility for their animals, particularly when they are near roads.
"As barangay council, please, ang mga dog owner, maging responsable rin sila sa mga alaga nila. Kung nasa gilid ng kalsada, try nila na itali,” Agsam said.
