The eyes say it all. This stray greyhound suffered grave wounds over the past couple weeks. Vets believe the injuries are possibly burns or, more likely, bites from another animal. He's recuperating at the Celina Animal Hospital through the support of the Animal Protection League of Mercer County, a non-profit volunteer organization.
