A dog in Hollywood, Florida is the victim in a horrible case of animal cruelty.
On Sunday, a 1-year-old female pit bull named Moon was taken to an animal hospital with severe second degree burns from scorching water.
Moon sustained the injuries following a domestic disagreement between her owner, Mariya Facca, and Facca's ex-boyfriend, Alain Williams.
According to Facca, she was at work when she received a text from Williams, alerting her that he had allegedly poured hot water on the canine because she had broken off their relationship.
Facca called police and Williams was arrested. He is now facing a number of charges including animal cruelty, threatening a public servant, three counts of battery on an officer and criminal mischief.
At the time of his arrest, Williams reportedly kicked, threatened and spit at officers. Moon is still receiving treatment at the animal hospital. The burns cover about 40 percent of her body.
A veterinarian who is working with the pitbull remarked “Moon has a wonderful disposition for having endured such a tragedy. While, she has a long road of care ahead of her, baring complications, our prognosis for her is good.”
Facca is heartbroken over what occurred but is happy that her beloved pet is making progress. Moon’s veterinary expenses are expected to be at least $10,000 and donations can be made to Hollywood Animal Hospital.
It’s unclear when Moon will be able to go home.
