An EMT was fired on January 11 after he mutilated a family’s dog, who had been killed when he was hit by an ambulance in Polk County, North Carolina. According to the termination letter from the Polk County Government, Michael Purdy was fired for “Unacceptable personal conduct,” which involved taking and mutilating the deceased dog, and then lying about the situation.
The dog in question was a nine-year-old Shiloh shepherd (named Goliath) who was accidentally killed on January 8 by an ambulance driver (who provided condolences to the dog’s owners). According to the dog’s owner, who reported the disturbing situation to the local authorities, Purdy retrieved the dog’s body after hearing the ambulance driver describe the dead dog as “mostly wolf,” reported WYFF News.
Goliath’s owner has stated that Purdy not only skinned her dog, but he also decapitated him and posted about the canine being a wolf on social media. The dog’s owner described her deceased pet, “Goliath had so much personality. He barked until you got out of the car and petted him on the head. He took your hand with his mouth, led you to the door and gave looks that made you want to kiss him.”
Goliath’s owner wants to know why Purdy did what he did – she told WYFF News…
“Did you really believe he was a wolf or did you want to believe he was so that you can have his hide?”
Purdy was reported to be off-duty at the time that he mutilated Goliath’s body.

It’s hard enough to lose a pet you love, but to have to deal with someone doing something like this to your dog…. I would be wanting the head of the person who mutilated my dog on a platter, too!
Skin the vile bastard alove. Warning publically to all animal abusers. Death to evil
That’s sick! I don’t care if it was a wolf, bear, snake, or worm…. you don’t skin and behead an animal like that! This man most definatly has mental issues. He needs jail time for his actions…
So many sick and evil people out there! I pray karma is watching and he gets what he gave. RIP beautiful boy! This did not have to happen.
This evil bastard must be wiped off the planet.
This from a man that is supposed to be compassionate and help people! Michael Purdy you are disgusting POS and need to go to jail. I feel for this family, to lose you pet being hit by an ambulance is bad enough, but to have an EMT do this to your pet after this is abhorrent!
Karma is a false belief held by Buddhists, Hindus and Eastern Indian religions. Karma is the belief that the UNIVERSE corrects wrongs. Karma does not exist. There is a God and he is watching.
They say the same for God. Too each their own.
Sick sick individual, fired him is not good enough, someone needs to do the same to him to. Hope he gets charged for what he did.
What a sick dick! I hope his termination follows him everywhere.
He wouldn’t think twice to do this to a person. Our illustrious government so worried about a crazy owning a gun. Perhaps they better worry about the EMT that picks their silly ass up at a wreck or home care. They don;t mind making laws for everything else in this country, why can’t they make some real laws to protect our companion pets?????
You can’t even trust those people who are supposedly the care-givers of this world..incredibly sad
There is a petition asking for him to be prosecuted. At the time of the petition he hadn’t been charged with any crime. Change.org
Where is the petition to have this idiot prosecute?
Its on forcechange.org

I JUST SAW THIS NOW AND WANT TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HER YOU SUBHUMAN LOW LIFE POS WHO DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE ON THIS EARTH. ROT AND DIE. I HOPE YOU READ THIS SO I CAN STRANGLE YOU.
