Montgomery Dog Severely Burned, Allegedly By Its Owner
Sep 19, 2007 08:15 PM EDT

A heartbreaking case of animal abuse happened in Montgomery and the abuser is still at large. The dog is recovering now from burns over 60% of its body.

Named for the famous fashion designer, Louis Vittan isn't looking his best. Veterinarians say he's fighting for his life.

The Pit Bull is in and out consciousness as it's treated for severe burns.

"The doctors and the staff feel real good about the recovery. it's just going to be a long road," said Xanthea Kennedy, a veteran's assistant.
Louis' story is also getting noticed on the Internet... his caretakers posted online video... showing exactly what happened to Louis... allegedly at the hands of his owner... at his own home.

When the humane society arrived on the scene, they say the dog had also been beaten and tied up. All because a 20 year old couldn't use the family car.

"When he was refused, he went out and beat the dog and doused it with lighter fluid and lit a match. That's basically what happened," said Stephen Tears, Director of the Montgomery Humane Society.

Tears says a warrant has been issued for the man's arrest, but so far, he's still at large.

"It's deplorable what he did and if he's not arrested, prosecuted and dealt with, we'll see him again in a few years and it might be a person next time," said Tears.

Meanwhile, Louis is at an undisclosed clinic undergoing a grueling treatment of creams, antibiotics and pain medication. But doctors say if his disposition is any indication, he'll recover.

So far, authorities haven't released the name of the man who they say set Louis on fire. If he's convicted, he could face up to 10 years in jail.
