Donations will keep injured dog in medicine

Donations have been pouring in to the SPCA to help Lincoln, an elderly dog who was stolen and used as bait in a dogfight.

The generosity follows a ONE News story on Thursday night about William Campbell, the first person in New Zealand jailed for dogfighting.

Lincoln's owner, Janet Cuthers, says he hasn't entirely recovered from his wounds and needs injections costing $50 a shot.

She was considering putting him down but the public support means Lincoln will continue to get the medical help he needs.
