The idiot with the cigarette needs to be in jail, for the safety of the general public. Karma will still come. You need to help prevent this from happening again by reporting it to all who will hear you.
Hope your baby feels better soon...

I agree, you should file a police report, and I would still sue the groomer. Their negligence caused you and your dog mental and physical harm! Also what about the vet bills that have incurred since the ordeal? If the police cannot catch the suspect, the groomer should hold some accountability as well.:mad:

This guy called your cell phone, his number is there, right? He made a threat, really harmed your dog too, he is a sick freak.
I am glad you got him back, and now he needs medicare attention. Burns are very serious. I have burns, so this has touched me on a personal level. It breaks my heart, to know what your dog has been through. How sick was that "individual" to do what he did ! I came from the Bay area.
It is unbeliable that this groomer place let go of a dog? Allowed a to get out of it's doors? run away? thats maddening! total negligence! A I'm so sorry does not cut it , all of this could have been prevented. Ignorant groomers . How crazy are those groomers? to let a little yorkie run away in San Fransisco? My blood is boiling.
Your baby loves you so much , and kissess you after being through hell. I am so happy he is back home safe where is needs to be. ALL off this just blows my freakin mind.

I know you are just thankful that you have Osito back, but that grooming shop needs to pay the vet bill at the very least. That was so irresponsible for letting one of the dogs in their responsibility actually get our of the building! If they are right on the street like that, they should have multiple barriers before a dog could escape to the outside!

And by all means, pursue criminal charges on the guy that said he had your dog!

All I can say is OMG! over & over. Unbelievable! I'm so happy you have him back in your care. Take lots of pics of his injuries should you decide to press charges on this monster. They will be important in court. I'd make sure the groomer saw those pics also.

I'll be thinking about you & sending good thoughts & prayers your way. So relieved for all of you that your little guys is back home with you.

Oh, Lord, as I was reading your story, I was just heartsick, thinking "Oh, no, not another lost baby", and then, I read that you got him back, I was beginning to feel happy, but then I read that he had been tortured, and I am furious!!!

How could anyone burn a little dog???

What has happened to our society?

I agree with the other posters; you have that guys number on your mother-in-laws cell phone, I would report him to the police, the Humane Society and anyone else that will listen.

I am devastated that this happened to your little guy. I am glad he is home with you, safe and sound. (This is one reason I don't trust groomers.)

Sheila

you know obviosly it was ciggarettes burns:( but he is better now. also when this guy called there was no number it was private and we did called the police and they came to the house we explain them what had happened and they said it was just a dog the it was not a police matter. so i told them how bout when i give the reward and they do something to me is that when is going to be a police mater???:eek: and they said yes!! i was so mad at the police then.:mad:

I agree totally, give that number to the police.
I would also research his number to find out exactly who he is.
Then maybe think about putting up fliers about him in his neighborhood!!
This behavior has been documented as the beginnings of serial killers.
He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, or beyond, if
you catch my drift.

So sorry that your baby had to go through this.
