Happily, Northstar appears to be recovering. Although Northstar had developed some infection, the doctors have been able to keep it under control. Northstar is now receiving specialized care at The Ohio State University. Thanks to a website created by Jess Lybrook, founder of the Erie Animal Network, strangers from around the world have been able to donate money towards Northstar's care. Approximately $10,000 has been gathered so far. If you were curious, transportation for Northstar's journey to The Ohio State University was also donated by Tim Girtin, a trainer at Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie, Pa.
Incredibly, Northstar seems to bear no ill will towards humans. In fact, his spirits seem to remain high despite the pain that he must be enduring.
If you would like to help Northstar, you can visit www.helpnorthstar.com. You can also donate to the "Donations for Northstar" account at any PNC Bank branch. Finally, if you have any information about this case, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at (814) 663-2043 or toll-free at (800) 922-1975.
