A beautiful dog, covered in maggot-infested bite wounds, appears to have been used as a so-called “bait dog.” Bait dogs are typically used in the blood-lust “sport” of dog-fighting to train fighting dogs to be game enough to injure and kill.

According to Pupz N Palz Rescue, the young Collie, dubbed “Mitchell,” was found near death in Modesto, California, in July. His severely wounded body was infected and infested with hundreds upon hundreds of maggots which were feasting on his battered body.

The rescue group described his pitiful condition upon arrival:

His neck was swollen so badly with deep bruises, abrasions and deep wound from an embedded chain leash that was wrapped around his neck. Holes so deep it took days to fully flush them to rid all the maggots. Dead tissues covered his back end. Not only did the maggots eat the dead skin but also into the fat and muscle as well. 

Since the time that Mitchell was found, he has undergone extensive treatment, including multiple surgeries. Amazingly, despite the severity of his wounds, he is expected to recover.

Mitchell’s supporters are hoping to find whoever is responsible for this cruel situation – Just Food For Dogs, a dog food company, has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible.

Donations for Mitchell’s veterinary care can be mailed to:

  1. The cruelty shown by people and by those who think it is fun to pull teeth and have bait dogs means we need very strong & harsh laws for this kind of cruelty. If you think it is fun to be part if dog fighting, may you get life without parole. Next you will be violent and cruel to people. There is a strong correlation between cruelty to animals and becoming a murderer. The fbi in the US takes it very seriously now. It wouldn’t be too much to sentence dog fighters to a fight against a lion and the man is unarmed. No normal or healthy minded human beings find dog fighting entertaining. Healthy humans throw up and want to save the dog.

  2. I pray they catch the dog fighting ring that subjected this precious collie to that horrendous treatment…..when will there be an end to dog fighting?

  3. How is Mitchell doing now ?? Any updates ?? I know they have to film to document, but they stand there and repeat the SAME thing !!!!! GET THE MAGGOTS OFF THE POOR THING AND GIVE HIM SOME PAIN MEDS !!!

  4. Just Food for Dogs we thank you so much for the $5000 reward. Hopefully someone will see this and provide information about this wonderful dog. Dog fighting must be made a priority in this country.Arrest those involved and permanent jail time, no release or fines.

  5. HORRIBLE!!! I hope you do find who did this and make them pay for this abuse. Whoever did this needs to go straight to PRISON!!!!

  6. The FBI can take dogfighting seriously BUT until these bastards are prosecuted to the fullest extent it will never stop – dogfighters are never convicted for the maggot puke they are – the sentences are so low it is not determent. It is time for ALL authorities to ensure these poor animals get justice – THEY are the victims. I hope Mitchell completely recovers and gets the safe loving home he obviously never had.

    • Yes it is exactly as stated. I can not comprehend why the law lets them get off light, afraid to hurt them? Updates on this story and the out come for the dog and the search for justice

  7. Updates please! I hope who is responsible are caught. Too many areas of certain places in the U.S. are fraught with criminal activity. Likely this is someone’s stolen pet to start with. All who see this posting please share the information wildly

  8. My hands shake as I type and the tears run down my face. And I struggle to find the words for this horrific,horrific abuse,torture and suffering of Mitchell. I see the bandage on his leg so he has been to the vet where he was shaved to better see his horrific wounds,and I’m sure he has been given meds for the pain. As for the maggots,it states in the post it took several days of flushing his wounds to completely remove them. I wish I has magic power to heal this beautiful dogs injuries in an instant. I just want to scoop him up in my arms and love on him forever. Dog fighting ranks right at the top with Yulin dog meat festival. It is suffering and torture at the highest level and all that take part in it do not deserve to breathe air. PRAYING FOR BEAUTIFUL MITCHELL AND I AM THANK GOD ABOVE THAT HE WAS FOUND!!! OMG!
