BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Thanks to her foster fur-parent, the “Miracle Pup” that was shot three times earlier this month is recovering well, according to KCSO.

KCSO posted Facebook photos of Oakley and a dispatch assistant who is currently fostering her. The puppy had surgery over the weekend to have her eye removed because of a pellet that was lodged in it.

According to officials, a Good Samaritan heard gunshots outside her home and after running outside, she found people running down the street and a crying puppy under her car. After following the dogs cries, the individual found that the dog had been shot in the head.
