An ailing blind and deaf dog that allegedly was abandoned by its owner along a roadway near Teterboro Airport is now being cared for by an animal rescuer who specializes in hospice care.
Bruna, a Boston terrier believed to be at least 15 years old, was found Sept. 1 by a good Samaritan.
The dog was initially turned over to the Bergen County Animal Shelter.
According to officials, the dog has dislocated knees, arthritis and an infected, open wound on her hindquarters.
The dog's owner faces an animal cruelty charge for allegedly pushing the dog out of a moving car, which she denies.
The owner says she didn't want to leave the animal in her hot car, so she left it in a grassy area while she went shopping.
She said she intended to return for the dog.
