Reward Offered After Dog Fed Glass

Veterinarian: Shards Of Glass Looked Like Blood-Coated Icebergs

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa. -- A Westmoreland County woman's dog is recovering Tuesday after someone intentionally fed him glass, WTAE Channel 4's Shannon Perrine reported. Veterinarians continue to monitor Scooter, Maryann Stull's dog, and a $2,500 reward is up for information. "The next morning, I woke up and there was fresh blood all over the bedroom," Stull said. "There were big stains on his mattress, big stains on his blankets, on the rug, and I noticed he had blood all over him."

 

 

 

Stull initially thought Scooter suffered a cut, but an X-ray and a scope showed glass all throughout his digestive system. "You're going down with a circular TV screen and you see little pieces of red, and then you see little pieces sticking out of it like icebergs and you grab them with your tongs, pull them up and they are glass," said Dr. John O'Laughlin, Scooter's veterinarian. O'Laughlin said dogs will sometimes eat one piece of gas, but the volume in this case suggests someone broke glass and fed it to Scooter. "You take one piece and stop. This really had to taste good," O'Laughlin said. "It was intentional. Not only was it intentional, but it was well-thought out. It's sad.I went from scared for what he was going through and scared that I was going to lose him to the worst anger I'd ever felt," Stull said. "I've never felt this kind of rage before." If you have information regarding this investigation, contact the Fayette County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is offering a $2,500 reward for information leads to arrest and conviction.
