Yet another burned dog and this time it’s a three month old beagle in Paterson, NJ, that someone threw some caustic substance on and left to suffer!

“They’re burns that sloughed off the fur, the skin, everything,” veterinary technician Debbie Jensen said. “What you see there, that wet, that’s ointment on him.”
The puppy has large patches of angry red skin showing where the fur has pulled away from his body. He is sedated, and covered in ointment but still in tremendous pain, although he displays no anger and allows handlers to do their best to help him. As Debbie worked on him Monday afternoon she wondered about the person responsible for the dog’s condition.
“It makes me angry,” she said through clenched teeth. “I can’t tell you how angry it makes me.”
The injured puppy was found wandering in traffic here on Getty Avenue. Passing motorists stopped, unsure of what to do. Jennifer Valardo finally stopped and picked the dog up and called Animal Control.
“I couldn’t just leave it there,” Valardo said. “He would’ve gotten hit by a car, he would’ve died. I don’t know how people can be so cruel to animals like that.”
Animal cruelty experts are certain the puppy was intentionally hurt. The dog’s paws and underside are unharmed and looking at what appear to be splash patterns on the dog’s back evokes images of someone tossing liquid in the direction of a fleeing animal. The penalty for animal cruelty is six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, but Chief John Decando of Paterson’s Animal Control Department wishes it were more.
“Doing this to a dog, a person could very well do this to a human being,” Paterson Animal Control Chief John Decando said. “This person needs to be taken off the streets. Look at it. Right now we have a $5,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person who did this.”
The reward consists of a $2,500 offering from the Human Society of America and another $2,500 is being put up by Save The Animals Rescue Team of Paterson also known as START2.
Veterinarian Paul Sova is optimistic “Beagle Boy” will get through this ordeal.
“(The) prognosis is good if we’re able to get the skin grafts done,” Sova said.
The number to offer donations for the care of “Beagle Boy” is 201-797-8861. The number for information about the case is 973-881-3640. (WCBS TV)
Makes me sick to see this is from the town i was born. A $5000.00 reward will make one of the lowlifes turn on their "friends". What an adorable dog.
i'm sure he will get adopted right away after he gets better.
This makes my blood boil!!! I hope the bastard(s) who did this to him get what they deserve!
Looking at his sweet little face and knowing how much suffering he's going through truly breaks my heart. I'm sending a donation check tomorrow. Please get better, Beagle Boy! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Poor innocent baby
This is disturbing and awful. This is a beautiful dog that could make so many of us happy to have her (or him) in our lives.
This is so sick, I don't understand how the worl is becoming more cruel each day.
How could somebody actualy to that to that poor baby ? WHoever it was must of been sick because nobody normal would enjoy tourturing an animal like that. That fucking basterd. I"M SO AGREVATED & MAD.
I Hope whoever it was gets caught and puts behind the bars for life, because how do you know that the person who did that wouldn't do it again ? Or to a person or infint child ?????
SO please help bring them to justus asap !
In the news this morning, the shelter holding this dog has received many, many offers of adoption from all over the USA. The culprit is still out there, and the reward money has been raised to $16,000.
It's heart breaking to see what some evil , sick person(if you can call them a person) could do this to such an innocent puppy or any animal. Beagle Bpy has such a sweet spirt behind those big brown eyes. The donation is in the mail. I'm praying for you Beagle Boy.
