Zimbabwe Pet's Place: Sad Story

A dog was picked up by VAWZ and brought to the surgery. He had the most terrible burns covering over 30% of his body which had been caused by boiling water [an all too common punishment in Zimbabwe]. We posted pictures of him on Facebook and asked everyone to share in case anyone recognized him and the perpetrators could be prosecuted. All and sundry were horrified at the cruelty that had been metered out to him but we have as yet not been able to find out who did this cruel deed. Now two weeks later Phoenix [as we named him] is well enough to be re-homed. We appeal to someone to open their hearts and offer him a loving home. Despite what has been done to him, Phoenix has the most gentle and loving personality and he deserves to know the love of a family. Please share his story and his pictures to all your friends – in the hope of finding him a home. I reproduce below his before and after photos – an absolute miracle!!

BEFORE …… how could someone be so cruel?
