In a social media post, the animal welfare organization said two people spotted a lone dog walking in the middle of Mohawk Street near Mohawk Chapel in Brantford. When the rescuers stopped to help, the dog led them into the bushes where they found two more dogs. 'One of them, a black puppy we've named Maple, was in critical shape,' the Brant County SPCA wrote in a social media post on Wednesday. 'The pup stayed by her side, licking her wounds and refusing to leave her. He did his part. Now it's our turn.'

(Courtesy: Brant County SPCA) The SPCA said Maple has a severe botfly wound, can barely stand and is experiencing seizures. They said blood tests have ruled out serious illnesses like canine parvovirus and distemper, but her fever is still dangerously high. 'We don't know what tomorrow holds for Maple, but we do know this: we won't give up on her and we know our community won't either,' they said. The SPCA has set up a fundraiser for Maple through Project Patchwork, their animal care program that helps raise money for specialized veterinary care.

(Assiniboine Park and Zoo/Facebook) The Assiniboine Park Zoo is mourning the loss of one of its red pandas. Sachi, a beloved red panda, arrived at the zoo in July 2014 after being born in Nagano, Japan in 2012. 'Sachi has been receiving veterinary care for a number of years to address gastrointestinal disturbances,' said the Assiniboine Park Zoo in a Facebook post Monday. 'While treatment was typically effective to help resolve her symptoms, over recent months these disturbances increased in frequency and intensity.' The zoo said her health recently took a turn for the worse and after a thorough examination, the veterinary team determined 'humane euthanasia was the best course of action.' Post-mortem examinations and testing also revealed that Sachi was experiencing changes in heart health as she aged, having surpassed the ten-year median life expectancy for red pandas in care.

A spokesperson for the zoo said they currently have four red pandas—two of which are surviving offspring from Sachi and her partner, Tango. 'Sachi touched many lives and was cared for by several animal care professionals here at the zoo who will all greatly miss her and her cute curly tail,' said the zoo. Red pandas are found in the mountain forests of Nepal, Bhutan, India, China, and Myanmar, according to the zoo.

Ask a Vet: How do I know when it's time to say goodbye to my pet?
Q: How do I know when it is time to say goodbye to a pet? A: Choosing when to let go is one of the most difficult decisions pet owners face. The timing differs for every owner-animal relationship, depending on your pet's medical condition, the strength of your bond, your resources for caring for them at home, and your access to veterinary care. Ultimately the decision is yours, but your veterinarian, trusted friends and family, and licensed mental health professionals can help.
