‘Whole body was smoking:’ Kids throw dog into firepit in Manitoba community
WINNIPEG — A dog has severe burns over its body after being thrown into a firepit in a community in northern Manitoba.
Katie Powell, president and founder of Save a Dog Network Canada, says two kids between 10 and 12 years old took a family’s dog off a porch on Sunday and tossed him into a firepit on the Red Sucker Lake First Nation.
“Polo ended up coming home about a half hour later. His whole body was smoking … (and) he had smoke and bubbles coming from his nose,” Powell said Wednesday.
“It was pretty horrific and obviously devastating for the family and the children that own this animal.”
