Humane Society Offers Reward
KENTUCKY....
The Humane Society of the United States has gotten involved in the search to find out who burned a small dog with bacon grease, cut off his tail, gouged out an eye and broke his jaw by offering $2,500 for information leading to whoever is responsible. Pike County Sheriff Charles Keesee says the dog was found December 1st on property just north of Pikeville, and Humane Society officials say the 1- to 2-year-old small terrier mix was howling in pain with his fur burned off and his collar melted to his skin. Jeremy and Amanda Gibson of Pike County say the dog belongs to them but had been missing since the middle of November.
The dog was taken to the Pike County Animal Shelter where director Rose Deskins who had the choice to put him down or try to save his life contacted officials at the Pike County Humane Society who then contacted Lexington's United Rescues of Kentucky which used its resources to get the dog medical treatment. The organization has received nearly $500 in donations. You can help by visiting the Web site, http://www.urky.org/.
