Update 11/28/09 – Little Brown Dog’s Recovery – VIDEO
It was just a week ago that Jimmy Lovell, 45, of Knoxville, TN dragged the little 17-lb. terrier mix dog behind his truck for miles, people screaming and running after him, telling him he was dragging a dog. When he finally did stop, he grabbed the little dog, yelled and cursed at the witnesses, people who were concerned for the dog’s safety, tossed the injured dog in the truck and took off.
“There was like 15, 20, 30 other people standing out there, just hollering at him, telling him, you’re dragging a dog, just running down the street, telling him, stop, and he never would stop,” said Ron Hurst, who witnessed the incident.
“It was bad, he had blood all over (her,)” Hurst said of the dog. “It was just laying there in the seat, wasn’t even moving, looked like it was dead.”
The dog was later found tossed and abandoned like trash on the road, near death, a trail of blood near the dog.
Lovell was tracked down and arrested, charged with felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals.
“The Little Brown Dog” as the injured terrier has been dubbed, was taken to UT’s College of Veterinary Medicine for treatment.
“Basically, (she has) skin wounds, ligament wounds, joint wounds and bone wounds on all four paws, but she also has a large wound over her sternum or over her breast bone that has been created in a similar manner,” Dr. Patricia Sura said. “Some of her bones have been sheared, so to speak, so they’re only half the width of what they once were because they’ve been ground down to that extent.”
LDB will most likely need skin grafts and it will be at least a month for those wounds to heal.

As for Brown, he doesn’t want to talk about it without his lawyer present and says his lawyer won’t discuss it until after the case goes to trial but he did say that it was an accident, “I’m really sorry it happened. I feel bad about it and stuff.”
Y’know, that might be easier to believe if we didn’t have witness accounts of him refusing to stop his truck for some time and then when he finally did, cussing at people and just tossing the injured dog inside only to dump her on the side of the road shortly thereafter.
This is not someone with any heart or compassion and I can only hope, although I don;t hold my breath, that a judge will throw the book at this POS!! At least he was charged with a felony, guess we’ll have to see if that sticks or is just plea bargained down to the usual slap on the wrist.
Little Brown Dog has a long road to recovery but she has already stolen the hearts of the techs and doctors around her, one of them vowing that she would take her in a minute. She’s a strong little girl and is fighting. She should make a full recovery in time with care and love and patience and will have a chance to find a loving home where the pain she is going through will only be a distant memory, if that.
hope you go to jail and find out doggie style the hard way LOSER
Oh and he’s sorry and it was unintentional. How many times have we heard THAT! He’s sorry he was caught and slapped with a felony. If it was unintentional he would not have cursed at the witnesses, take off and abandon the poor thing. He is SO full of crap it makes me sick.
This is what I call a bad gene pool and would be glad to offer my car of course myself behind the wheel and drag him behind till the skin comes off… what a low life. people like this makes me sick of the human race that is why a sign in my yard says “Dogs welcome humans not”…..
poor little thing looks like she just wants to give up, thank God the people at this hospital are so kind and sweet
Another walking piece of trash!! I hope he gets his ass kicked every day in the slammer…. or better yet “dragged” at full speed. Rot in Hell you POS. Many thanks to the kind folks at the hosiptal and the kind people who tried to stop him. Please get well Little Brown Baby xoxo
Thanks to all the angels out there who offset the horrible people who find this abuse entertaining. May she find a wonderful caring new home and her abuser will serve punishment appropriate to the crime. What a sweet little dog!
I hope this ugly scum gets a good beating , I seem to say this many times .Look at that picture of him , it says loser
From the behavior and looks of this misbegotten white trash I would hope someone does away with him and spare any more innocent animals this type of torture. Make him pay for the medical care of this poor dog.
u sleasebag……
LBD..what a sweet wee face. hang in there, grrrrl. there’s somebody out there for u who’s gonna love u furever….
I wish I could wrap my brain around how anyone can lack a heart like this monster. NOW he’s sorry….now that he’s caught and facing maybe jail time. Clearly he had no remorse at the outset, and probably did it on purpose. She has such a sweet and precious face. You can see in her eyes the gratitude she has for her saviours. Now she has a chance to know what love is all about, and that it doesn’t come with torture.
Lets hope that justice prevails for this poor little girl. At least she will come out of this okay and she is away from that piece of crap.
OMG. Look at that poor dog, I think emotionally that dog is drained and can it ever trust again. how would he liked to be dragged till his bones and flesh are shown. this is horrific and scary. hope he never gets another pet or be near one. imagine what he would do to a child or adult. hes nuts.
this dog needs alot of love right now. hope someone in the clinic will take her. i cant believe she survived that trauma.
Any way you could post judges info so we could write to the court before trial? As you know this has been very effective in some cases. Please keep us posted. This is heartbreaking. When he goes to jail, would be great if we somehow let his fellow inmates know what this POS has done. Justice in the hands of discreet inmates.
oh he’s gonna come up bloody all right, there is nothing to be proud of in prison when you abuse something so defenseless, he is despicable even in the eyes of other criminals. there is a certain pecking code and he will be on the bottom, literally.
that thought makes me smile.
that little dog was so strong, she was meant to be here for someone, she survived what I don’t think I could have.
“I feel bad about it and stuff”. I’ll just bet. This is about as good of an apology as our illustrious Mr Vick offered. What “it” would you be feeling bad about Jimmy? And correction, the word is badly, “I feel badly” but being the low life, pond scum, cretin that you are, you probably did not pay too much attention in English class. If, you went at all. I’ll bet you feel BAD. That is a given, you are BAD, although BAD is hardly a strong enough word for the ahborent nature of your acts.
As for the “and stuff”. that is a nice touch. Covers about everything doesn’t it? Did your attorney, excuse me, in your lingo, lawyer, try to tell you what to say and you could not remember? Or is it that you really have no idea of the heinous and abhorent nature of your crimes so you believe “and stuff” will cover everything? Hopefully you will have a prosecutor and judge who recognize you “are Bad” but just do not buy into your sniveling “and stuff” excuse.
As for “an accident”, guess that is all a low life, utterly devoid of human compassion or kindness, psychotic such as yourself could come up with to hope to get yourself off. Too bad there were all those witnesses. Too bad that you were so full of yourself and so despicable that after the “accident”, you cursed at the witnesses, paid no attention to the dog’s injuries, drove away and then dumped the dog. Guess that is “the stuff” you are are referencing. Yeah, that’s right….”the stuff”.
With any justice, the courts will throw the book at you and give you the maximum, and time with all the “boys” in lock up. They likely feel BAD too, and will sure be ready to try out a bit of “stuff” on you. Sure hope so, and won’t feel “badly” at all, in fact will just hope for “lots of stuff”.
Done unintentionally my A$$!!!!!!!
He INTENTIONALLY ignored the 20-30 people yelling at him to stop. He cursed the people when he did finally stop, if he truly was unaware that the dog was there his reaction would have been one of shock and possibly a little thanks to the folks that let him know his dog was there. We actually had this exact same thing happen in my town about 5 years ago the man responsible did actually go to jail.
If there were any justice in this world Lovell would be tied to a bumper and drug through the streets!!!!!
bottom line..if given the chance id drag him behind a car..only difference i wouldnt stop at all!!
keep looking at her…gosh she is adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could you look into Little Brown Dog’s eyes and not love her? This low life piece of scum needs to serve some time and be at the bottom of the pile, if you know what I mean. Then all those that partake can say it was an accident and they feel BAD for doing it and stuff. To look at him you just know he is scum. I am a pretty good judge of character and I say off to the island with him. Too bad they couldn’t make a micro-chip for humans that do wrong and when the evil comes out in them it alerts authorities. We need e-mails and addresses to write to some of these people that will be responsible for his sentencing or a determination. Please keep us posted. What a horrible story after reading two great stories.
I can only say, when I meet my Maker (a long time from now, I hope), I will not have to shed these tears that will not quit running down my face. Every night and every day, I look at my baby’s (Sage, Sugar and Justine), and ask the same question over and over again…..”how can humans do this to animals and why are there so many baby’s in shelters needing family’s and love, when we have such a huge population in this world?” I pray every morning that they all will get a nice warm home and family, like my baby’s have. This is such a sad, sad, world for ALL of God’s furbaby’s…..every species in exsistance that is ever touched by human hands so cruely. I hope LBD makes it and gets a wonderful family to forever love her.
Maybe he will be sent to jail and meet an inmate who loves dogs.
