Mutilated dog hasn't given up on humans despite trauma

DETROIT, Mi. - Workers believe “Baron”, as he is now called, once had a good life.

MHS cruelty investigator Mark Ramos told FOX 2 Detroit,"As long as I have been doing this, I can't imagine somebody taking care of a dog for as long as they’ve cared of him and then turn around and doing this to their own dog." 

Despite the trauma inflicted on him, “Baron” hasn’t given up on mankind. He remains social and friendly, and actually seeks out people. 

If “Baron” is not claimed as a stray soon, he will be up for adoption where he has a chance for a new life. A chance to put this savagery behind him. 

Initially a $2500 reward, the Michigan Humane Society is currently offering a $35,000 reward for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of the real animals responsible for such cruelty. 

“This kind of cruelty is unacceptable. We need to be a voice for these animals and as a community we need to speak through our strong actions to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” said Ramos.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Michigan Humane Society Cruelty Investigation Department at (313) 872-3401.
