The plea had hundreds of shares on Facebook and with further help of fliers distributed near where Seven was found, his owner eventually came forward but had to surrender his pet as he could not pay for its treatments. Since the accident, Seven has undergone two surgeries - the first to repair the top part of his mouth and a following surgery for his broken leg. This was all paid for by the funds raised by those who were touched by Seven's story of survival. The clinic's veterinary nurse Jaycee Britter told the Daily Telegraph the surgeries cost over $3000. For Seven, the vet clinic has been his temporary home for the last month where he is slowly learning to walk again. Doctors say Seven will be ready for his new home in about six weeks time.
