Mika, a 12-week-old puppy, was stabbed in the face multiple times with a pocket knife by an 11-year-old boy on Aug. 25, 2016. A concerned neighbor reported the incident to the Humane Educational Society. HES Animal Protection Officers seized Mika and rushed her to RIVER Animal Hospital for emergency surgery.

Veterinarians were able to save Mika's life but she lost her eye as a result of the incident.

Almost six months later, Mika finally got her day in court. The Humane Educational Society has been awarded full ownership of Mika and she is now available for adoption.  The Humane Educational Society was also awarded ownership of one other dog that was in Mika's previous owners' care. 

Officials with the Humane Educational Society say they are looking forward to helping Mika put her tragic past behind her. At eight months old, Mika is finally ready to find her forever home. One other dog seized in the case will be assessed at the Humane Educational Society where she will receive medical care and rehabilitation before being placed in a forever home.
