Poor dog. This is horrible! Whoever did this is a soulless devil. I hope the monster is found and punished severely.
The wicked scumbags responsible for this think they got away with it, but they did not. Justice in this world is often like a sick joke…but in the next life…well, just wait. The poor dog who suffered horribly before and during death is surely in Heaven forever now.
