Here is the latest from Norfolk Animal Control:

“I write with sadness that the King Charles Cavalier was humanely put to rest earlier today. After exam, ultrasound, emergency first aid and x-rays he had multiple fractures. His quality of life is of upmost concern and the humane answer was euthanasia. The cocker spaniel, who we’ve named Marley, is doing well at the vets for his treatment.”
