Near Houston, Texas a dog dubbed Pete nearly died after having to endure a barbaric motor oil treatment by his owner to supposedly cure the severe case of mange.
“There are no words to describe the pain that Pete has endured at the hands of humans,” posted the rescue group, RED Collar Rescue who pulled the dog to safety on Sunday. “Pete was turned into BARC (Houston shelter) by his owners near death.”
Pete is emaciated and suffers from a life-threatening skin infection. Veterinarians have also diagnosed the anemic dog with hookworms and conjunctivitis. When surrendered to the shelter, the dog reeked of motor oil after his owner poured the toxic liquid over Pete’s open and raw wounds.
“… seeing Pete in person will definitely make you cry. Red Collar Rescue and Sav-a-Pet have joined forces on behalf of Pete.”
The dog is currently undergoing a blood transfusion, being administered intravenous fluids, antibiotics, pain medications and given medicated baths to make him more comfortable.
It is hoped cruelty charges will be brought against Pete’s owner. Follow Pete’s plight on Facebook.

What a stupid thing to do. This person better be brought up on charges. That dog suffered because of him.
do the same thing to the poor dog’s owner, what a freak to do that to a helpless animal.
I hope the idiotic owners faced charges! Too cheap to take their dog to the vet? Let them spend a couple of weeks in the free hotel!
Die you f*cking son of a b*tch POS !!!
Owner of my As* !!!
Hot TAR and FEATHERS are TOO GOOD for these BASTARD owners!!!! Hopefully Pete will recover and find people worthy of him….
What a jerk that poor dog he should be charged with abuse
Ignorant asshole! I would like to pour motor oil all over this dirtbag to treat the POS’s stupidity. Too cheap to take the poor pup to the vet to treat the mange and too cheap to feed the dog. Good for nothing Texan!
This poor dog was abused for a long time! The owners should sit in jail for a very long time!
Is the owner STUPID????? Glad you are getting the lifesaving care you need and were strong enough to fight through your owner’s stupidity.
CHEAP SICKO OWNER. HOW WOULD THIS BASTARD LIKE IT IF I POUR OIL IN HIS EYEBALLS. I SERIOUSLY WONDER HOW THESE LOW LIFE SCUMBAG POS CAN THINK OF SUCH STUPID SHIT . I WISH THEIR MOTHERS THREW THEM IN A FROZEN POND WHEN THEY WERE BORN. I JUST PISSES ME OFF THAT I CAN’T TORTURE THESE ASSHOLES.
hope you die soon bastard
Poor baby
This idiot hunk of maggot puke SHOULD be sitting in jail for what he did to this poor animal. But this being Texas little to nothing will be done – this asshole’s cruelty is so barbaric and disturbing he deserves much more than jail – he deserves to have that motor oil injected right into his veins – not only did he abuse Pete, he ignored all the other problems he had – nothing like a neglectful stupid inbred scumbag for an owner. I hope Pete recovers from the neglect and abusive behavior he was forced to endure. Thanks to Red Collar for coming to his rescue – this being Texas and their well known lack of concern for animals – Pete would have been put down with no medical attention.
