LBD- pictured above – lovingly stands for Little Brown Dog. LBD has lived through a horrible tragedy that occurred on November 9th of this year in Knoxville, Tennessee at the hands of her owner, Jim Lovell.
Lovell was arrested for dragging LBD behind his truck for several miles through the streets of Knoxville. Several people had attempted to stop this “man” while LBD was being dragged.
Lovell eventually stopped and it is reported that he cursed at witnesses and jerked this poor dog off the street , removed the rope to which she was attached and threw her in the passenger side and drove away. LBD was found not too far away- dumped on the side of the road, barely alive.
Today, Lovell has his day in court to answer to the aggravated animal cruelty charges. I hope the judge has the deceny and audacity to throw the book at this horrible cretin of a person.
LBD was taken to the John and Ann Tickle Small Animal Hospital in TN. Her bones were exposed plus she suffered from massive burns all over her body from gravel along with the pads of her feet.
LBD has been going through skin grafts and is making good progress and has also found a “forever home” in Knoxville once she is nursed back to health.
Thank God for the good samaritans who didn’t just stand by and actually attempted to stop Lovell. Thank God LBD was found and will survive.
I have said if before and I will say it again- It’s time to take crimes against man’s best friend seriously and fine the perpetrators of such horrifying crimes the maximum amount and give these monsters the maximum jail sentence. We need to send a message to future abusers of animals that this will NOT be tolerated any longer. I am so damn sick of these people getting away these crimes.
May justice prevail for LBD!!
