Someone used a scalding-hot substance to burn a dog in Prince George's County, and animal welfare advocates are offering a $7,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.
The one-year-old gray-and-white pit bull was found severely burned and huddled in a backyard in Clinton on Dec. 29, the Humane Society of Calvert County said. He dog survived and has since been named Leonidas.
Veterinarian reports indicate that Leonidas was intentionally burned, most likely with a scalding substance.
Leonidas is still recovering and is now being cared for at the Humane Society of Calvert County. The group says they're committed to finding him a permanent home once he's better.
