I Hope They Catch This Asshole

Hang in there little buddy.

The Humane Society on Wednesday morning provided an update on Trooper's condition. The 5 ½-month-old pit bull puppy was dragged behind a truck Nov. 21 on Interstate 55 without the driver's knowledge after the dog's leash somehow became attached to the trailer hitch of the truck. The animal was dragged under a trailer pulled by the truck for about a mile,  investigators said.

As for the reward, the Humane Society is working with local police to investigate who tied Trooper to the truck. An anonymous donor kicked in more money to bump the reward to $5,000. The money is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

Tony LaRussa maybe? This town has a LOT of dog lovers.

The pup's owner isn't known. He was named Trooper by the workers who treated him. He was in shock and suffered life-threatening injuries including exposed bones. He was treated at the Humane Society facility in Maryland Heights and was to be transferred to an emergency facility.

“He’s my little buddy,” she said. “He’s the little buddy of a lot of people here. He has touched people’s hearts.”
He has an “oustanding personality, a gentleness and tolerance,” Hill said. “When he has his bandages changed on a regular basis, which is not a pleasant experience, he’ll lay his head on our arm, not squirm.”
Hill said Trooper has “the sweetest eyes, you’re drawn to them.”

Hill said “we have some leads” about who tied the dog to the truck but she said the investigation continues.

- Good.  Catch this miserable asshole and give him the choice of either going to Potosi or playing practice dummy for the remainder of the Rams' season.  Room up with Bubba in Potosi or get run over by Steven Jackson over and over and over and over again...
