Burned for no reason


A Good Samaritan brought her to the Animal Defense League. A 7-month old Dachshund whose back had been severely burned.

ADL’s veterinary staff believe the burn may be the result of the puppy running under a car and being trapped underneath the catalytic converter although it is also possible someone poured acid on her back.

Sadly, that's very possible.

She is just one more example of what humans do to animals. Abuse them beyond reason. Beyond my ability to understand. The violence makes me cry,

We named her Gracie. And she is being treated at ADL. She will recover although she will be scared for life. Once her wounds heal she will be put up for adoption. ADL staff named her “Gracie.”

But despite what a human did to her Gracie loves people. Amazing.
