Puppy Perishes After Suffering From Electrocution

Belle the puppy was found under a bush in a Norwich resident’s yard, only seven or eight weeks old, with a rough start to her young life.

On a poster circulating online, Animal Control said it appeared that Belle had either chewed on an electrical cord, sustained injuries and was dumped or someone may have deliberately caused the injuries. She made it through the night but had a long road of recovery ahead, an April 12 update from Norwich Animal Control said.

With heavy hearts for a puppy gone too soon, CT Animal House announced that Belle passed away on Monday, April 13.

“It is with great sadness and heavy hearts to report this final and last ‘pupdate’ on Belle,” CT Animal House said on Facebook. “Poor little Belle passed away this afternoon after having multiple seizures and could not be brought back. Thank you to everyone for all the positive thoughts & prayers, posts, messages and donations for Belle, the support is tremendously appreciated. RIP Baby Belle, you will forever be in our hearts.”
