SEC=UGA Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- A 24-year-old Cobb County man is accused of putting a puppy in a hot oven as an act of revenge against another man. SLIDESHOW: Puppy Burned In Hot Oven Gary Moore Jr., 24, now faces a felony animal cruelty charge. Channel 2's Ross Cavitt went to Cobb Emergency Veterinary Clinic in Marietta to check up on the puppy’s prognosis. Cavitt said Melody, a 20-month-old pit bull mix, was bandaged and burned from head to toe. Cavitt said Melody received significant injuries to her paws and tail. Dr. Susan Engeran, who is working around the clock to give Melody a new chance at life, is giving the puppy a constant drip of pain killers and antibiotics. The injuries are so serious that Melody whimpers and whines constantly. “She’s been treated very aggressively,” said Engeran. Police believe Melody became the victim of a nasty domestic dispute. Four days later, police said, a Good Samaritan brought her to the clinic after failing to convince Moore to get treatment for Melody. “She was very lethargic… and dehydrated,” said Engeran. Engeran expects Melody to make it and said the puppy has the gift of youth. It is unknown how the burns on her paws will heal. Neighbor Nerys Machuca told Cavitt that he heard the puppy make noise in the middle of the night, and knocked on Moore’s door, but he wouldn’t open it. He was saddened to hear what happened. “Animals deserve respect just like we do,” said Machuca. Engeran said Melody has become the star of the clinic. “The news spread and people are coming by to see. We all feel for her very much,” said Engeran. The clinic said Melody will not be put up for adoption. They will select a special foster home to deal with the puppy's medical needs. According to jail records, Moore was still being held at the Cobb County jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Such blatant disregard for life like this will not stop with animals for this guy. He needs to go away forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point you're just a sick Ginsuo and don't deserve to be around other humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I hope Bubba finds this guy soon since he is still being held in the county jail. What a worthless POS. Pretty much everyone loves puppies. Bubba's going to show him what it feels like to have a big puppy in his oven real quick-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's rough to read. As frenzal's story proves, pretty much everyone that abuses animals is a worthless piece of crap in the rest of their life as well. Hopefully he gets what he deserves.

polksalet Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I would feel more sympathy if it weren't a pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbpfan1231 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Come on people - this was just a one time incident. If this comes out and publicly says I am sorry I think he deserves a 2nd or even 3rd chance. I mean if he apologizes I am sure he is truly sorry for what he did and he will go on to be a productive person in our society. Just look at Vick - he said sorry and now he is the bestest person evah!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
