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.

I'm so sorry. I've been there, and I know how bad it feels. I pray that soon your sad memories will be replaced by your happy memories of Bobo.{{{hugs}}}

Bobo was the yorkie brunt on the stove by his owner. That is just devastating news. Thank you for letting us know. Was there any article about his death?

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.

Oh God.....poor little guy....:cry:RIP Bobo

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.

:cry8:

That poor baby and what he went threw.
I pray God is holding him tight at this minute and giving
him kisses to make him whole again.

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. :animal-pa :animal-pa :animal-pa
All our love
Debi, Toby & Miss Cricket

Oh no! :(

RIP sweet boy! You deserved so much better than this evil life gave you! :rip:

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."

OH no:cry: Poor little baby:( RIP Bobo, you have touched all of us.

Not a good day here either. Everyone hug your babies.

RIP BOBO:rbyorkie:

Rest in Peace sweet little Angel. God has you now and your in a perfect place now, I am sorry you had to endure some much pain on earth. :(

RIP Bobo! We know you are whole again now! I don't think there is a person on here that wouldn't have taken you in!

It just breaks my heart....all of it. :(

RIP Bobo...you aren't in pain any more and no one can hurt you ever again.

When I read stories like happened to this innocent soul, I just can not comprehend the level it takes to have no compassion, no sense of wrong and right and the urge to hurt a living, breathing creature.....I do not know why he had to suffer, I do not know how someone could possibly come up with the idea of what they did....mental illness is NOT the words I would use to describe such an evil person :(

Sweet Angel Bobo - You have some much love and so many prayers for a very peaceful, happy and pain free eternal life...I am so sorry you were abused by the person that you put all your trust and love into, please know that no one will ever hurt you ever again...sweet boy rest in peace

:littleang:littleang:littleang

RIP Bobo :littleang

You aren't in pain any more and no one can hurt you ever again.

The only solice that I can get is that there must be a new little boy or girl angel in heaven that was ready to have a sweet dog. But why did Bobo have to go through all that he did? There is no answer:( Baxter and Zeke are getting extra hugs from me now. RIP Bobo you will never be forgotten

Very sad. I have tears in my eyes. My heart is with you. I so agree. Nothing will ever hurt you again. You are safe now. RIP Bobo.

My heart aches so bad. A feeling of relief has come to me after hearing that Bobo has made it to the top, however, I just also realized, that monster killed Bobo. She killed him. And we couldn't save him. I wish we could have done more. I bet he was so scared and so nervous in the hospital. And I'm sure his little heart was so confused why someone he trusted and loved hurt him like she did.

I never talk like this, but I hope that woman burns in hell for what she did. One day she is going to come out of her coma-like state and realize what she did. I will never forgive her for doing that to someone so special.

My heart aches for you today Bobo. I hope you are running, smiling and loving life up there this afternoon. We love you sweet, sweet baby and I am forever touched by you. All my love.

i just saw the picture of little bobo in another thread, im crying my dam eyes out. i am sooo friggin upset its not funny.. omg!!! sorry, but i just have hatred in me now

Please know I feel the same way you do. I feel as though my heart has been ripped out and stomped on by that women. I wish that he would have gone to a better home and I wish the Denver Dumb Friends league would step up and admit they need better screenings.

RIP, Sweet Bobo. You touched my heart, my husband's heart - and we told Wylie and Marcel about you. All of us sent our love and were pulling for you. We won't forget you. :(

That is beautiful, I couldn't have said it better myself. :) RIP Bobo, my heart hurts for you baby boy.
