Stolen, abused dog receives unusual skin graft

[ArkRescue]

"GREENFIELD, Wis. (AP) -- A dog stolen from the backyard of a Milwaukee home, burned over most of her body and then left in the cold received a skin graft surgery on Monday involving pigskin -- a procedure usually done only in humans.

The 5-year-old black Chihuahua mix, named Beatrice, was snatched March 13 and found 11 days later outside a casino with burns over 90 percent of her body. Her whiskers and eyebrows were also singed."

There are local groups that work hard to get legislation changed or passed. The one that comes to mind is MD Votes for Animals which is in this list: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...544&action=devloc&q=pet+rights+MD&v=133247963
