Orphan Annie off to New York

AFTER undergoing major life-saving surgery, a young Limerick orphan has been sent to New York for further treatment.

Fifteen-month-old Annie is now receiving a course of physiotherapy and hydrotherapy in Albany, New York, following surgery to save a badly broken leg.

Annie is a lurcher - a crossbred dog - who was rescued by members of Limerick Animal Welfare following day and night searches in Castletroy.
