PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Humane Society of the United States has gotten involved in the search in eastern Kentucky to find out who burned a small dog with bacon grease, cut off his tail, gouged out an eye and broke his jaw.

The organization is offering $2,500 for information leading to whoever is responsible.

Pike County Sheriff Charles Keesee (kee-SEE’) told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the dog was found Dec. 1 on property just north of Pikeville. The Humane Society says the dog was howling in pain with his fur burned off and his collar melted to his skin.

The dog is a 1- to 2-year-old small terrier mix, now named Miracle, and the newspaper reports he’s staying in a foster home in Louisville.

The Humane Society’s Kentucky director, Pamela Rogers, detailed Miracle’s injuries and told the newspaper the organization offers rewards in ‘especially heinous’ cases to help law enforcement.

Why don't they provide the public with a picture of this poor dog. I know what my families, friends and neighbors' dogs look like. Someone out there knows who this heartless, immoral, and black souled animal is that has done this. Our laws aren't very good when it comes to our furry companions. My dogs are part of my family and I can't imagine what kind of "person" is capable of this sorta thing, but it scares the crap outta me. What could this little dog have done that warranted this sort of abuse? It certainly speaks volumes as to what kind of "people" this village is raising!
