Target: Boca Raton, Chief of Police Michele Miuccio
Goal: Find person responsible for the horrific abuse of a dog found glued to sidewalk by his own feces.
Cemented to the sidewalk by his own feces and “covered in fecal material, burrs, and maggots,” is how Trooper the dog was discovered. Trooper had faced terrible abuse prior to being abandoned on a sidewalk, where his own fecal matter glued him in place.
“It took them about an hour to pick him up off the sidewalk,” said Dr. Julia Sheehan with Tri-County Animal Rescue. “He was stuck.”
According to Sheehan, when Trooper arrived at the rescue shelter, “he looked like he was dead.” In addition to the most obvious abuse, Trooper also has a heart murmur, ear infections, ulcers in his eyes and a slipped disk in his back. The slipped disk was so severe that Trooper was unable to walk.
Instead of euthanizing Trooper, rescuers committed themselves to saving and rehabbing him. Trooper has been responding well to the treatment, as well as the love and affection, and rescuers are hoping he will be ready for adoption within a month or so.
Despite the hopefully positive outcome of this case, the person responsible for this terrible abuse of Trooper is still walking the streets. We are asking police to devote more resources to finding and capturing the person responsible for Trooper’s terrible abuse.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Miuccio,
Trooper the dog was found cemented to the sidewalk by his own feces and “covered in fecal material, burrs, and maggots.” The abuse that Trooper had faced prior to being abandoned on a sidewalk, where his own fecal matter glued him in place, is hard to imagine.
“It took them about an hour to pick him up off the sidewalk,” said Dr. Julia Sheehan with Tri-County Animal Rescue. “He was stuck.”
According to Sheehan, when Trooper arrived at the rescue shelter, “he looked like he was dead.” In addition to the most obvious abuse, Trooper also has a heart murmur, ear infections, ulcers in his eyes and a slipped disk in his back. The slipped disk was so severe that Trooper was unable to walk.
Despite the hopefully positive outcome of this case, the person responsible for this terrible abuse of Trooper is still walking the streets. We are asking you to please devote all resources necessary to find and capture the person responsible for Trooper’s terrible abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
