This happened in Dallas a few years ago. They named the dog, Mercy, but she didn't live....I think she survived the burns at first, but as with any burns, there are alway so many complications. They caught the guy who did it, though, and I think he got prison time. They theorize that this....um, can't call him a man....can't call him a person.....how about lump of evil burned Mercy because she wouldn't fight. The terrible thing, too, is that it happened right in the middle of a busy apartment complex. The general public just doesn't understand that anyone who would do that to an animal wouldn't hesitate doing the same thing to a child, a woman, anyone they feel superior to. Makes me sick to my stomach......
