Bystanders Do Nothing As Dog Burns​

BALTIMORE, Maryland (WJZ)--Police are searching for the person who set a dog on fire in Baltimore City.

The dog has been named Ms. Mercy.

She was transported to Metropolitan Veterinarian Associates in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania near King of Prussia.

Doctors say Ms. Mercy is in stable, but fairly critical condition. The doctors took off her bandages and have been giving her plenty of antibiotic cream to help her burns.

She is hooked up to feeding tubes to increase her energy and recovery. She is on several pain medications, but doctors are hoping for a recovery. Doctors say
there is also a chance for infections to set in, but they are focusing on her recovery.

The dog's nose and skin are peeling off.

Veterinarians call this the worst case of an animal being set on fire they have ever seen.

"It's her whole body. There's not one part spared. I've seen it on the back, I've seen it on the tail, I've seen it on the ears. I've never seen it on the whole body," said Dr. Marcella Bonner.

Baltimore City Police patrols accidently came across the dog on Presbury Street.

"[She] was fully in flames. There were people around, but nobody was doing anything. So, I got out of the car, took off my sweater, and started hitting [her] to put the fire out," said Officer Syreeta Teel. "It was sad, because I've never heard a dog make that sound, this scream [she] made. I've never heard it before and it was just cruel."

Police have no leads on who's to blame, but detectives and animal specialists are certain someone intended to kill the dog.
Start by looking at niggers. "She's really bad off. This is one of the more severe cases. She is burnt. I would say about 95 to 98 percent of her body is burnt. Somebody obviously covered her in gasoline and lit her on fire," said Jennifer Meade-Brause, BARCS executive director.

The dog was sent to a Pennsylvania shelter for treatment.

Although vets say it would be a miracle to survive the burns, they say if any dog could do it, it's her.

"A dog that is still wagging tail still looking at people, still standing. It shows you there is something in her, a will to live," said Meade-Brause.

Veterinarians who examined the pit bull believe she was used for dog fighting.

Twins Charged With Setting Dog On Fire​

As if there were ever any doubt it would be MF'n niggers. If these 2 didn't do it, guarenteed some other filthy nigger did.​

BALTIMORE -- Police said Monday that twin brothers face charges in the burning of a pit bull that was later euthanized.


Police have charged Travis and Jermaine Johnson as juveniles with animal abuse and cruelty. They are still in police custody.

Authorities said the dog was doused with gasoline May 27 in the 1700 block of Calhoun Street in southwest Baltimore and then set on fire. The 2-year-old pit bull was euthanized May 31 at a hospital in Pennsylvania.

The dog had burns on 98 percent of her body.

"This was one of the most cruel things I've ever seen. It hurt me to my heart," said Baltimore city police Officer Syreeta Teel, who used her sweatshirt to put the fire out.

Denise Griffin said her boys were taken in for questioning on Friday night. She said her sons could never do something like that and thinks it's all about money.

"I know they didn't do it. I keep hearing different things around the neighborhood about the dog ran up to there. The dog -- nobody said the dog was right there. So, I feel as though I know my boys didn't do it. It's a reward out and then wasn't nob
ody picked up around there until they said something about a reward," Griffin said.

The reward grew to $24,500 by the end of last week.

"They didn't do it. I would put my life on the line that they didn't do it," said the boys' father, Charles Johnson. "If you're on fire or anybody else is on fire, you're going to take off running. That's probably what the dog (did). Who knows where it was set on fire at."

"You know, 17-year-olds, they're going to get into a little something. But they wouldn't set a dog on fire. I think one of them is afraid of a dog," Charles Johnson said.

Additional witnesses and information is still being sought in the case.
