The traumatic scene unfolded on Sunday, 24th May 2026, at around 5 p.m. on Boulevard Poincaré in Perpignan, France.
A horrific fall
According to witnesses, a dog was reportedly thrown from the first floor of a building, as reported by the news website L'Indépendant.
The force of the impact left the young Fox Terrier, named Milou, with serious injuries. Shocked but quick to react, passers-by immediately gave first aid to the distressed dog before contacting the police and animal rescue services.
Serious injuries and a hefty bill
He was rushed to a veterinary clinic, where the diagnosis was clear. Milou is suffering from a double fracture in his leg.
For the Masepo rescue, which is now caring for the little dog, the operation to get him back on his feet will be costly. It needs to be performed by a specialist in Narbonne. Unfortunately, the charity doesn't have the funds, as it is already overwhelmed with bills.
”We recently spent €7,000 trying to save another dog. A personal loan was even taken out. We just don’t have the means anymore, we need help,” explains the president.
