Burned Dog Dies At Wheat Ridge After Hard Fight

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (CBS4) ― A 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier who was burned on a stove in a Lakewood apartment has died of his injuries.

The dog, named Bobo, suffered second- and third-degree burns over 50 percent of his body Sunday after he was tied up with speaker wire and placed on a burning telephone book on a lit stove burner.

Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital veterinarian Dr. Elisa Mazzaferro said Thursday morning that the complications of being burned were too much for the animal's organs.

He died overnight.

Police on Sunday arrested Bobo's owner, 38-year-old Tanya Martin, on suspicion of fourth-degree arson and animal cruelty. Her uncle, Leo Cordova, says she suffers from mental illness.

Martin remains jailed on $10,000 bond, and is due in court Thursday. (© MMVIII CBS Television Stations, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.)

There is a huge thread all about sweet little Bobo posted here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ml#post2296858

A few people posted links to the new articles confirming that Bobo did indeed pass away

This is just so upsetting to me and I am completely heartbroken

There is a petition to sign to change the laws so that they stiffen the laws for animal cruelity. If you go to the big thread on the last page there is a link to the thread to sign the petition.

I did. THis is such a sad sad thing I look at my baby boy and just get heart sick.

RIP Bobo...
