It\u2019s heartbreaking how cruel some people can be to dogs. One such case was Buddy, a sweet, harmless dog who suffered a horrific attack in April 2021 when a child set him on fire. He was found with his face charred and an extension cord around his neck. Due to the child\u2019s age (under 12), he couldn\u2019t be prosecuted.<\/p>\n
Buddy was taken in by the Tunica Humane Society and treated at Mississippi State University\u2019s College of Veterinary Medicine. Despite the severe burns, his vital signs were stable, and his eyes were miraculously unharmed. He began a slow but steady recovery, receiving skin grafts and constant care.<\/p>\n
