Instead, Dickie is<br \/>\naccused of setting fire to his dog&#8217;s scrotum and testicles.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>The dog was rescued after a concerned neighbor phoned Dickie&#8217;s<br \/>\ngrandmother, who asked a friend to check on the dog. The dog, Charlie,<br \/>\nwas found in his owner&#8217;s bedroom &#8211; unable to move because he was so<br \/>\nseverely injured.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Witnesses also claim that Dickie was seen beating his dog in the yard<br \/>\njust days before. Of little surprise, Dickie denied abusing his dog<br \/>\nwhen questioned by authorities.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Charlie was taken to a veterinarian and treated for his burns. A neighbor covered the dog&#8217;s veterinary expenses.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>The abused dog was not returned to the man that is accused of beating and burning him. He has been adopted to a new family.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>His prior owner faces charges of animal cruelty &#8211; a fourth degree felony which could put Dickie behind bars for 1 1\/2 years.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>It is disheartening to see someone subject a dog to such cruelty. It<br \/>\nis baffling to hear of a person that chooses to own a dog while claiming<br \/>\nto not be able to afford the most basic of veterinary care.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>It would appear that this man has an abusive personality based on the<br \/>\naccusations against him. For non-abusive owners facing a financial<br \/>\nhardship stemming from the need to have a pet altered, there are<br \/>\nlow-cost options available.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><strong>Check with local humane societies and animal control facilities to find options available in your area.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;text-decoration: none;border: medium none\"><strong><br \/>\nContinue reading on Examiner.com: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/dogs-in-national\/dog-burned-when-owner-attempts-to-neuter-him#ixzz1EtPUrvVb\">Dog burned when owner attempts to neuter him &#8211; National Dogs | Examiner.com<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/dogs-in-national\/dog-burned-when-owner-attempts-to-neuter-him#ixzz1EtPUrvVb\">http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/dogs-in-national\/dog-burned-when-owner-attempts-to-neuter-him#ixzz1EtPUrvVb<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/afsdanimalposting\" target=\"_ blank\">AfSD\u2122(ADVOCATE FOR SAVING DOGS\u2122)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>Please join me at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vYml0Lmx5L2FUUDhWVg==\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: maroon;font-size: medium\">Friendburst<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/advocateforsavingdogs\/\" target=\"_ blank\">Advocate for Saving Dogs\u2122<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/Animal_Rights\/\/\" target=\"_ blank\">Animal Rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/WeAreAllConnected\/\" target=\"blank&quot;\">\u2665We\u2665Are\u2665All\u2665Connected\u2665<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/WolfWarrior\/\">Wolfen Warriors<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dog burned when owner attempts to neuter him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,6,28,10,26,2,11,25],"tags":[2045],"class_list":["post-18383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-family","category-friendburst","category-health","category-life","category-news","category-other","category-people","category-world","tag-dog-burned-when-owner-attempts-to-neuter-him"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
