Vets performed emergency surgery on Roxy to remove the massive branch
A miracle puppy escaped death by millimetres when a 2ft tree branch ripped through her leg and came out the other side.
These incredible pictures show the inch-and-a-quarter-thick branch pointing up to the sky after getting wedged in Roxy the whippet’s right hind thigh.
The stick was a just a fraction away from severing a major artery in Roxy’s leg — and came to a rest on her sciatic nerve.
Senior veterinary nurse Anna Moran was part of the team who somehow managed to surgically remove the stick without damaging either the artery or the nerve.
