“She’s just a super sweet dog and I think she knows she’s now being helped,” an animal services officer said. WARNING: This story contains graphic images.
Meet Rosie, a 5-year-old pit bull who's endured unimaginable agony and abuse.
Texan officials with San Antonio Animal Care Services are investigating after she was found doused in the face with hydrochloric acid, a compound normally used to dissolve rust from steel. It's believed she went several weeks without medical attention.
An anonymous caller phoned officials one week ago to report the abuse, prompting authorities to remove Rosie from her owner.
"She looks pretty horrific," Audra Houghton, an animal care field supervisor officer, told BuzzFeed News. "Her entire head is burnt. There isn't any skin untouched. Her eyes are burnt. She's lost all of one ear that was essentially melted off."
Rosie's being placed in foster care while she continues to recover from her injuries, but officials are also seeking donations to help pay for surgery that may help to restore her eyesight.
