Service Dog Found Shaking And Screaming In Pain

Gizmo is a sweet, friendly, and playful little 2–year-old Shih Tzu.

Mandy relies on Gizmo as her service animal, so he is a very important part of her life. While inside her Baytown, Texas home, Mandy allowed Gizmo to go outside and relieve himself, as she always does. There was nothing unordinary about the events of the day except what happened next.

Mandy says she went back inside her home, put a few items away, and went back outside to bring Gizmo in. What she saw on the porch horrified the poor woman. Gizmo was shaking and had something terribly wrong with his face.

She immediately scooped the little dog up and drove him to a nearby animal hospital for assistance. Meanwhile, the vet performed a variety of tests to determine what happened to Gizmo.

She says it appears as if someone set the dog on fire, which is technically how it feels to have chemical burns. Poor Gizmo is blind and will need both of his eyes removed. Mandy feels like she is getting the runaround from authorities.

“I called Baytown Police Department to file charges for animal cruelty which is a felony offense and they stated that they can’t do anything because I don’t live in the City Limits of Baytown,” Mandy wrote on Facebook.

A representative from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office says the case is under investigation. We wish Gizmo all the best in his healing process. Hope that the person responsible for this horrible crime is found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
