The dog has now survived the surgery and is running about as shared on X (formerly Twitter).

The group posted: "Maeve was attacked with a hatchet recently. They tried to murder her, she was supposed to die but some how she got away & staggered into garden.

"She was weak & emaciated with a head wound that showed her skull. Maeve has a long way to go & will be at Southview Veterinary Hospital for another while, but every day she is improving."
