Update 2/12/09 – More Than a Year Later, How’s Miracle, the Puppy Tortured & Burned by Kids? VIDEO
What the hell is wrong with kids these days?? This is just unbelievable!
Police reported that a neighbor saw some teens carry some puppies into a house in the 7400 block of Faust on Saturday evening and then come running out when the house caught in fire yelling ‘Fire!’
Officer Jennifer Halfacer and partner, Officer Calvin Davenport were first on the scene.
“We heard the puppies squealing and screaming,” said Halfacer. “But we couldn’t go
upstairs where they were because of the flames.”
Only one puppy survived, her four litter-mates, two of which were found ‘hog-tied’, didn’t survive the blaze.
The officers rescued the surviving 4 lb 8 week old black and tan pit bull puppy, dubbed Miracle, and took her to Almost Home Animal Rescue and then to the Oakland Veterinary Referral Services for treatment.
Miracle, who will need intensive care and many surgeries, sustained third-degree burns
over 20 percent of her body, second-degree burns over 20 percent of her body and first-degree burns over 40 percent of her body.
“We are really worried about the amount of burns on her body and about sepsis and infection setting in,” said Jim Thompson, the director for the Oakland Veterinary Referral Services in Bloomfield Hills.
“She’s on antibiotics right now in case pneumonia develops and for the burns,” said Dr. Karen Fidell, a veterinarian at the hospital where Miracle was taken.
“It’s pretty pitiful that someone would do something like this,” said Fidell.
“I was glad to see that she made it and that not all of them perished,” said Halfacer about the puppies’ ordeal. “(Miracle) actually survived. I can’t believe. She made it.”
Two charity groups are providing for her care, but they need donations to pay for the extensive treatment.

As of now, no word on the ‘teens’ who committed this atrocity.

I’m sure I am not the only person to wonder “WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!” Sick, sick sick. And guilty!
LETS REMEMBER “THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE” NOW THATS A SCARRY THOUGHT!
Monique and Gina – you are both so right! And scary is just too mild a word, Gina!
I told my fiancee yesterday that sometimes, and now more than usual, I prefer/like animals over humans. I’m actually afraid to have kids of my own now. This world has become a crazy place.
OK ADMIN..I;LL TRY TO REPHRASE MY “CHOICE” OF WORDS! LET ME FIND UT WHICH SOCIOPATHIC KIDS DID THAT..AND I;LL BURN EM TOO
Yup Gina, I think sociopathic definitely fits. These are our future murderers and serial killers and violent criminals. There’s no doubt we will be hearing more about them in the future, probably on the front page and on ‘wanted’ posters and top 10 wanted lists!
I hope there is a place where we all go in the afterlife. Only if I don’t have to share it with evil- doers such as these heartless sub-humans.
I was horrified when I read this story and seen the pictures,
I love my dogs as much as my children. I have a 1yrs old pit bull
that looks just like Miracle, and he was a throw away nobody wanted
I have 2 pit bulls 1 siberian husky I took in becasue no one wanted them
a boxer that was given to me how can someone be so cruel to an animal
that can not defend or speak for its self. I hope they find and punish
them to the fullest extent of the law. I will pray for Miracle everyday.
I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A PITBULL( A STAFFIE) THAT WAS LEFT TO DIE ON THE JEFFRIES EXPRESSWAY. THANKS TO SOME VERY CARING PEOPLE THAT MADE DONATIONS AND FOSTERED HIM “JAKE” IS ALIVE AND WELL(HE DID LOSE HIS BACK LEG). MY SON AND I WERE THE “SPECIAL FAMILY” THAT GOT TO ADOPT JAKE. SINCE OWNING JAKE I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF THE FEAR AND HATRED TOWARDS PITBULLS. SOME OF MY SONS FRIENDS COULDNT NOT PLAY WITH HIM DUE TO US HAVING A “KILLER” DOG! A FEW NEIGHBORS ACTUALLY STOPPED TALKING TO ME! I NOW AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A FOSTER PITBULL( AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER) THAT WAS TIED UP IN YARD TO BE USED AS “BAIT”. THESE DOGS R THE MOST LOVING DOGS ANYONE COULD WANT! OHH AND YES THEY R SOOOOOOOOOO MEAN…YOU SHOULD SEE THEN “TURN” AND RUN” WHEN MY CATS BEAT EM UP!
I just want to know if the the kids had their genitals removed without anesthesia, cause that is what they deserve.
i own a pet shop and we have all the noew about it thats so sad y would they do that i cops said they wouldn’t help the guy there because he called all day and all week.The people who did this should be chase down and go to jail right!!!!
Poor little babies. I used to have a pitbull staffie x. She was the sweetest dog ever. My cat and her used to share a basket. There is so many misconceptions about pitts. They are very loving loyal dogs and would never turn on their owner no matter what, it has been bred into them to be loyal to humans, its just other dogs they sometimes hav a problem with. I miss my dog dearly, she had cancer and had to be put to sleep. When I hear of crimes like these it makes my blood boil. I hope the little bastards get what they deserve, but I doubt it.
Those kids should BE BEATEN!!!!for killing those dogs! My friend mother has adopted a pitt bull from a friend her name is Reba she is the sweetest dog ever she wouldn’t hurt a fly.
What could i go to school to join the ASPCA? If you have infromation i would love to it!
Thank’s

little bastards should b skinned alive….
good note, tho….that wee baby has been adopted. she really IS a miracle…
“The Future”!!! vrey frightening, indeed….
I don’t get it……if the neighbor saw these little shits going into the building with the pups, how come this person can not identify these murderers and then they might be able to find them. They probably have criminals for parents…..cruel, not suppose be a part of society parents. I sure hope they find them. When they do, please let us know Deanna. Those poor innocent, beautiful, unknowing pups. Man! Another reason I just despise the human race for the most part. God sure made a mistake when he created the human being. Especially this kind. I am sick to my stomach over this.
