After more than a year of pain and surgeries from gunshot wounds to his head and leg, Watson has been adopted from the RSPCA's Brisbane hospital.

Four-hundred-and-nineteen days after the Staffordshire Terrier cross was found wounded in Bloomsbury, in the Mackay region, he was taken home by a mother and daughter.

Watson was found on November 10, 2018, and taken to Orchid Valley Veterinary Surgery in the Whitsundays before being transferred to the RSPCA's veterinary hospital in Brisbane.

Vets initially thought he had been hit by a car, but further examinations determined bullets had done the damage. His left eye could not be saved.
