I am so upset right now.  I heard about this the other night, but I only heard a quick bit.  Here in my town of Lancaster, Ca., a "person", or as I would call them, an animal, set a dog on fire.  (I am shaking as I write this and almost in tears.) 

I love animals, but even if I didn't, I don't understand how someone could do such a hurendous things as setting a living thing on fire. 

The story is in the Antelope Valley Press, dated May 7, 2008.  WWW.avpress.com

Ann Brooks, a local resident heard the dog crying in pain and agony.  She, being a great person, took her shirt off and rolled the dog in the shirt.  The dog was a pit mix, and she had no fear.  She wanted to help the dog. 

Tony Bell said "Abusing an animal is an unacceptable crime."  I AGREE!!!  (Sorry, this is hard for me to write, as tears are starting down my face.)  "This is an unspeakable act, and we want to punish wohever is responsible."  When I first read this, I wanted that person to go through what this pup did.  Now, I just want this person caught and punished for what they did.  Also, I want to see this dog go to a loving home.  I have a pit, and she is the biggest lover.  I saw the puppy on the news, and it was still be so very loving. 

It took over 2 minutes for Ann to put out the flames.  What a painful experience for her, and the pup. 

The same dog was seen a couple of days earlier on Goxton, walking by some girls. 

Ann said, "This little dog should be saved.  It was not a vicious dog." 

Check out the story.  Thank you for bearing with me.  I just want to get this out.
