Pit Bull stolen and dragged behind a black truck, REWARD!!!!

DESOTO COUNTY, MS (WMC) -

A $2,500 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a man accused of dragging and severely injuring a dog.

In Defense of Animals, the organization that operates Hope Animal Sanctuary in Grenada, Mississippi, announced the reward. They said it is the third dog dragging case in Northern Mississippi in the last few months.

On Saturday, May 21, the dog (named Rebel) was taken from his yard and attached to the back of a black truck and dragged by the neck from a cable.

Rebel was dragged for a half mile until finally being able to escape from the collar.


Rebel suffered deep abrasions to his underside, side, and legs, and his jaw was ripped open and lost the pad to his right foot.

Rebel’s condition is considered extremely painful and it may be weeks before he is fully healed.

“This is the third dog dragging incident in Northern Mississippi in recent months” In Defense of Animals’ Justice for Animals Campaign Director Doll Stanley said. “The shocking number of violent cruelty crimes shows that legislators and judges must take urgent action.
