Poor little guy



By Andy Campbell


Spartacus is a lovable dog. He's happy and docile. He did nothing wrong.

He's so innocent, in fact, that he didn't even resist when an unknown assailant cut him up from head to toe and hit him with a shovel.

"Spartacus just sat there, I guess, letting him slice him up. Such a sweet dog," Alex Kyrkland, who works at the Pet Care Center in Los Angeles, told CBS News. "Whoever this person is, and I can’t even use that word, this animal, I think, he tried to cut his throat off."

It took surgeons at the Pet Care Center two hours and 1,000 stitches to save 2-year-old Spartacus on Sunday. He had slashes on his neck, face and torso, and the gash on his neck led surgeons to believe someone was trying to decapitate him, according to the New York Daily News.

5. Poor dog!

I hope they catch the person that did it, a cold dark prison cell is almost to good for whatever monster did this!

Poor Spartacus, I am glad he survived. I hope he makes a full recovery.

6. Sometimes humans just suck

Animal cruelty cases like this should be prosecured extremely harshly. Anyone who could hurt an innocent animal in this way should be considered a huge danger to society.

Poor dog. Glad he survived and hope he has a speedy recovery.
