Willy is our Pet of the Week on Wet Nose Wednesday

Parker from the Humane Society of West Michigan wasn't able to come into the studio this morning due, of course, to the Coronavirus, but talked on the phone with me about Willy for Wet Nose Wednesday.

Willy (One-Eyed Willy to be exact)! Willy is 3 years old and as his name suggests he has only one eye. His story is pretty incredible.

Willy arrived at Humane Society of West Michigan on Thursday 3/26 after being found in a box by a Good Samaritan. He had a severely injured eye. An emergency surgery was performed to remove the affected eye. A lump was found on Willie's neck, and upon further inspection the lump was determined to be a bullet. Willy's eye injuries were the result of a gunshot. Despite his past, Willy has been nothing less than affectionate and trusting throughout his care and has been a light for staff during our closure. While we do not know who did this to him, we know for sure that Willy will spend the rest of his life safe and loved.
