AHS' Dispatch Team responded to a call from Phoenix police about a dog that attempted to climb a wire fence and impaled himself doing so in late July. Technicians who arrived at the scene found 2-year-old Shepherd mix Junum with a large laceration to the abdomen with his intestines coming out of his body, AHS said.
"We all held our breaths for this dog because we just were not sure of what the outcome was going to be," Kelsey Dickerson, an AHS spokesperson, said.
