| Bobo I just heard the news that Bobo went to rainbow bridge. His little organs could not handle what he was going through. I am pretty upset right now. |

| Bobo I am sorry. I should clarify- this is Bobo that was burned by his owner. I am just as upset though as if he was my own. |

YT 500 Club Member | I never thought I would post here. I have become so emotionally attached to Bobo over the past few days that I feel as though my heart has been ripped from my chest. Thank you to everyone who followed his care. Please remember the evil that did this to him has not been sentenced yet and I would appreciate it if everyone followed the story until we know the final outcome of her sentence. In my entire life I have never heard of such evil, such cruelty. I wish that god would of placed him in proper hands. I know that his pain is over and he is in a better place. But I am selfish and wish he was still alive.

| Bobo, you left behind more than you'll ever know. Every single one of us adopted you in our hearts. We don't know why God picked you to touch so many; but I have a feeling something bigger will come from this pain and your memory will love on and on and on. I hope you are running and jumping and peaceful now that you're back home. |

| Bobo, you have stolen the hearts of so many in such a short time. As I sit here now crying for the loss of a dear sweet baby boy, I know in my heart that you felt all the love from all of us here. And that you are in a much better body now, that no longer feels the pain you suffered. RIP you dear sweet little man. And enjoy your NEW loving home. All our love Debi, Toby & Miss Cricket |

| Bobo the Yorkshire terrier burned by his owner, dies By Bill Scanlon, Rocky Mountain News (Contact) Originally published 08:34 a.m., October 23, 2008 Updated 09:16 a.m., October 23, 2008 Text size 28 Comments Email Print Preston Gannaway / The Rocky At Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, Beth Heaton, right, and Jackie Connors monitor Bobo, a Yorkshire terrier, who suffered second- and third-degree burns on Sunday. Bobo's owner was booked into jail on suspicion of arson and animal cruelty. More Local NewsThe Crevasse Day 4: Escape Husband turns up with gun, wine in hand Girl dies after being hit by car More stories » Sadly, the Yorkshire terrier clinging to life after his owner purposely burned him, died early this morning. The shock of the burns apparently did damage to his kidneys, pancreas and other internal organs, veterinarian Elisa Mazzaferro said this morning. "He suffered cardio-pulmonary arrest. He didn't suffer, he was comfortable." Bobo suffered burns over his legs and other parts of his body after his owner allegedly hog-tied him and set him on fire over a stove on Sunday. Relatives of Tanya M. Martin, 38, of Lakewood, say she suffers from mental illness. She has been charged with cruelty to animals and fourth-degree arson. As recently as Wednesday, the Bobo hotline was sounding optimistic: "Bobo was resting comfortably today, greeting us and interacting with his surroundings," said the message. The message said veterinarians were hopeful that a special skin treatment could hasten Bobo's recovery and return him to normal. On Wednesday, Mazzaferro brought Bobo into a hpyerbaric chamber in Lakewood donated by animal-lover Dr. Alex Thermos. "It was very peaceful in there," Mazzaferro said. "We took a nap together." But afterward, when they did surgery to remove some of Bobo's dead tissue, "it showed that some of the organs were failing," she said. "The burns we could see were only the tip of the iceberg," Mazzaferro said. The failed organs were "the internal consequences from the external burns." Mazzaferro noted that Bobo was given generous does of pain medicine. Up to the end, "he was alert and responsible and very comfortable. He wasn't suffering." Coloradans, stirred by the story of the burned dog, had donated more than $23,000 as of Wednesday afternoon for Bobo's care, said Ben Drotar, director of marketing for Table Mountain Animal Center. The average donation was $53. "We'll more than likely be well over what was required for Bobo's care," Drotar said. The remainder will go into the Westy Fund, a pot of money to help abused animals. "The response was tremendous." The Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, where Mazzaferro is director of emergency services, provided Bobo's treatment. The Table Mountain Animal Center organized the fund-raising campaign and oversees the Westy Fund. "It's very sad," Mazzaferro said. "It's not a good day over here."
