The Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue is asking for the public’s helping identifying a gang of juveniles who thought it was funny to purposely throw bricks at a dog in his own backyard. Poor Brutus had been outside on a chain when the children approached the chained friendly pup.
According to Brutus’ owner, he heard his dog yelping in pain and spotted the kids running away and laughing. When he went outside to check on his dog, he found the bricks next to Brutus.
The children who allegedly attacked Brutus were all reported to be between 8-10 years old. Unfortunately, the witness doesn’t know exactly where these kids live, however rescuers, neighbors and Good Samaritans are providing evidence to law enforcement so that they can investigate the incident and find the youngsters responsible for such a heinous act.
In the meantime Brutus has been surrendered to The Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue for care. The dog’s leg is broken, and his owner stated he could not afford the dog’s care. Brutus is currently at a veterinary hospital, and his updates will follow as his condition continues to be assessed.
Meanwhile, the days of Brutus being chained and being attacked are over. He’s safe now!
