The dog was picked up from the Bryceville area, but animal control workers didn't know the bullet was lodged in Banjo Boy's face until he was taken to a veterinarian.

The bullet was found three weeks after the Banjo Boy was brought to a shelter, and it's unclear how long it had been there. The dog suffered nerve damage and still has bullet fragments in his face.

The 3-year-old dog is part of Animal Services' Have-a-Heart to Save-a-Heart foster program.
