WINNIPEG–Mounties in northern Manitoba have opened an investigation into the case of a dog badly burned after being thrown into a firepit.
Katie Powell, president and founder of Save a Dog Network Canada, said two kids aged 10-12 years old took a family’s dog off a porch on Sunday and tossed him into a firepit on the Red Sucker Lake First Nation.
The eight-month-old dog, a lab mix named “Polo,” is recovering at a veterinarian clinic in Winnipeg.
Powell said the family is devastated and wants a better life for the dog, so they’ve asked her group to find another home for their pet.
