WESTPORT, Conn. — A dog hit by a car on I-95 in Westport a couple weeks ago is recuperating, but still has a long way to go.
The dog, nicknamed Maddie, is a female black Staffordshire Terrier or possibly a Mastiff who was found by a concerned citizen between exits 17 and 18 of I-95 in Westport. The dog was first brought to Norwalk Emergency Veterinarian Clinic for treatment, and is now being treated at Schulhof Animal Hospital of Westport.
