Case Report

 

A horribly mutilated pit-bull, named Gypsy, was found on Monday

morning, April 11, 2005 in Gaston County, North Carolina. She had

been dumped on a main highway (Wilkinson Blvd) that connects Gaston

County with Charlotte/Mecklenburg County. Her wounds appear to be

the result of dogfighting.

 

Her injuries were so severe, her right-front leg had to be amputated

due to the extent of mutilation and infection. According to reports,

the flesh on her face was literally rotting off, and when she first

arrived at Tri-County Animal Rescue, her mouth was " nothing but

pus " . Tri-County Animal Rescue stated that the dog was " a bloody

mess " when she was found on the roadside.

 

No one has been charged and no arrests have been made. A reward was

offered on April 19 by a doctor in Kentucky for information leading

to an arrest, however so far, the authorities do not appear to be

actively pursuing this case. A report was filed with Cramerton

Police Department, but no further action has been taken.

 

Veterinary specialists in reconstructive surgery are being contacted

in the hopes of rebuilding Gypsy's face.
