This is horrible. Help police find the responsible person. The dog was found near Hobby Airport.


The young Labrador retriever had been burned on his torso, legs, face and even his nose. Someone had coated him with an accelerant and ignited it.

Hate seeing this.
We need more efforts on catching and prosecuting these people in TX. There have been enough studies showing the strong connection between animal cruelty and later moving on to human victims.

It's amazing that the human character spreads so far as to emcompass both people like this and people like Mother Theresa. It's like they are different species.

I agree that we need far stronger punishments for peope who hurt animals.

Thank you Lizzy.

He has a Facebook page where people can help: https://www.facebook.com/HelpSavePie...hoWasSetOnFire

And another cruelty case of a dog in Montgomery County:

I hope the perps are caught. So horrible, and yes, warning signs of moving on to human victims next (if they haven't already).

You are correct. Isn't things like this how Jeffrey Dahmer began his terror filled life?

Thanks for the Facebook link AK. He's at A&M getting the best care.

This picture was taken on Sunday, looks like his face is starting to heal nicely. I think they said his hind leg will be amputated.

Just breaks your heart. Don't know how a human can do this. Just look at his puppy eyes.
