This horrific story was seen on TV and shown the damage done to the ears of this poor pup went through. This wasn't a crop job. Someone hacked the ears right off the pup in the most discusting way using a sharp instrument in the Hamilton Press.

A puppy in Windsor, which had its ears cut off, is expected to make a full recovery.

The Windsor-Essex County Humane Society has been caring for the approximately six-month old Shepherd-Rotweiller mix since it was found on a city balcony last Friday, bleeding and in pain.

Society agent Amy Nardella says the dog won't suffer any lasting effects, except he won't have flaps covering his ears and could be more prone to ear infections. Nardella notes that a lot of dogs have their ears cropped.

Nardella also said yesterday that the phone has been ringing off the hook from people who want to adopt the dog. She says once the Shepherd-Rotweiller dog is fully healed, in about another week, he will likely be put up for adoption.

In the meantime, an investigation continues to determine who cut the dog's ears off. Nardella says charges will likely follow.
