When they drove back to the animal hospital, the veterinarian was there and greeted them. He gave Hayden a jar filled with plastic rounds and said that Jackson had been shot multiple times, dozens in fact, all over his body. The places that were the worst to remove were his knee, under his eye, and the inner part of his ear.
The whole family was very upset to hear this news, Jackson must have been in great pain and didn’t know what was happening. They finally got to see him, he was still unconscious from the painkiller, but they petted him gently. Most of his fur was shaved off so that they could operate.
