Dr. Ivy Alvarez, of the Animal Wellness Veterinary Hospital, said when the surgery team got hold of Kenneth, the condition of the dog’s face was beyond description.
Yet despite the cruelty that Kenneth suffered, Alvarez said the dog remained sweet.
“I almost cried when I first saw him. But despite what happened to him, he was really sweet,†said Alvarez.
Alvarez said the eight-man surgery team was able to reattach the portion of Kenneth’s nose, palate and skin that had been apparently hacked off but not completely that they clung to Kenneth’s face.
Dr. Luis Guillermo Zialcita, who headed the surgery team, said Kenneth would recover in less than two weeks.
“He will eat normally and live normally,†said Zialcita. “We assure you that nothing significant will change in the dog’s life,†he said.
The two groups that raised funds for Kenneth’s surgery—CSDCI and IRO—are demanding that the human who abused Kenneth be made to answer for the brutality. “Kenneth is an example of a victim of people,†said Gilliam Roque, head of CSDCI.
