Dog Reportedly Beaten and Run Over Deserves Justice

Target: Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania Attorney John W. Peck

Goal: Put man in prison who reportedly physically assaulted a dog, ran the creature over with his truck, and left the animal to die.

Devin Jacob Eli Rugg was arrested and charged with two counts of animal cruelty after he allegedly abused a dog on the side of the road. He needs to spend the maximum amount of time in prison if he is found guilty to hopefully avoid another similar tragic situation in the future.

A lady told authorities that Rugg pulled off the side of the road and began screaming at the animal. She further went over to explore the area after the man left and reportedly found a pit-bull type dog profusely bleeding and crying on the road’s shoulder. Although the dog, later named Russell, was quickly taken to a local veterinarian to receive medical treatment, the animal is reportedly still in excruciating pain after being treated for multiple cuts, bone bruises, and pelvic fractures.

Pictures of where the alleged incident took place were posted on social media, and Rugg was apprehended soon afterwards. According to the person who was with Rugg during the incident, he said that he was going to kill Russell before he reportedly assaulted the animal and ran the creature over twice. Sign this petition to demand Rugg be given the strictest sentence under the law if it is found he hurt this innocent animal.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear County Attorney Peck,

An innocent dog was reportedly tortured, run over twice, and left to die. Devin Jacob Eli Rugg was arrested for the crime after news of the incident spread on social media. He needs to spend the most time behind bars possible if it is found he committed this horrific act to better ensure other animals will not endure the same fate.

A person called police after she allegedly saw the dog, now named Russell, fiercely being yelled at on the side of the road. After the man left, she checked the area and later told police that the animal was bleeding from all four limbs and yelping loudly. According to one witness, the animal was picked up as a stray, and Rugg threatened to kill the creature after getting into a heated fight with his girlfriend.

A local veterinarian reportedly treated Russell for severe injuries, including bruises on the animal’s bones, pelvic fractures, and numerous lacerations. For these reasons, we demand you seek the harshest legal sentence for Rugg if he is found guilty and that he be required to not only spend time in prison, but that he also be made to pay all pertinent fines relating to his charges, if it is found he committed this disgusting act of animal cruelty.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. I believe that man needs serious prison time put him on a list animal offenders

    • Karen Rogosz says:

      This evil thing needs to pay for this crime ! Some needs to speak up for this animal that cannot !! Prison fine ! And never aloud to own any kind of animal !! Because of such abuse to this poor angel !!! God bless this baby ! God bless the person that stepped up to save this poor puppy !!!!

      • I agree, this piece off crap needs to pay for what he did, & God Bless & protect this poor dog, hope he can find a loving caring family who will take good care off him, & God Bless the person that rescued him

    • Martha Mcclain says:

      Yes he needs prison time to keep him off of the streets where there are sane people! He is clearly mentally ill and needs some help asap!

  2. He needs to be in prison and after his release should never own another animal again also think about it if he would harm a dog or any animal what would he do to a human being

  3. eleanor dunkavich says:

    This is a sick creep hope he gets plenty of time behind bars

  4. Pat Birtles says:

    Green Mile for him

  5. Run him over with a car, but we can’t do that unfortunately! Prison, then loss of drivers license, lifetime ban for him or anyone living in his household of ever owning any sort of animal!!

  6. Raymond Stevens says:

    Filth like this should lose the ability to breath

  7. Somebody needs to beat him then run him over

  8. Hey Mr. Peck, I got a better idea than jail time. Loan this sociopath out to the Phillies or Pirates for batting practice. After a sufficient number of his limbs have compound fractures drag him over to the nearest inter-state and let a couple of 18 wheelers see how thin they can crush him.

    Max jail time. Hope fellow inmates beat him daily.

  9. Devin Jacob Eli Rugg Must suffer the same fate as this poor dog. Better yet, just eliminate this scum from the earth bi hope some one finds this aubhuman lowlife evil scum and does to him what he truly deserves!!!

  10. Karla Dut says:

    Wow. Pure filth. The lowest. There is no way to rehabilitate empty dark souls like this

  11. Sociopath Monster!!! Prison for this Bastard!!! PURE EVIL!!!

  12. This guy is a dangerous sociopath and a threat to society. Next time it will be a child

  13. Who the hell does this? I can’t take it. This piece of garbage needs the chair.

  14. Who does this? What kind of scum-sucking pus-head would do that to a poor sweet animal? These people need to have tougher punishments no more slaps on the wrist and a little $50 fine.

  15. Find the subhuman sadist and stop him from breathing. Beat him and break his bones and then run him over. That is the only justice for this substandard subhuman!

  16. Eda Garcia says:

    Why are we humans being mean so mean to the dogs?
    If your that miserable and weak shoot yourself…

  17. Utter scum needs locked away forever!!

  18. Allison Winters says:

    Him and the guy driving with him should both be run over multiple times and left for dead!! These monsters should not not be allowed walk among us

  19. amazes me how the number of these lowlife pieces of shit continues to grow. that should speak volumes in how lax our laws are to protect any of these animals domestic or wild. man believes he has the right to take, destroy and kill as he sees fit but usually these pieces of human waste are the first to cry like a bitch when they get arrested. your fighting with your girl, why hurt the dog. i guess that proves he is a man. i hope the dog fully recovers with no issues and this scumbag gets his due.

  20. Prison time will not cure this man of his evil. Beat him to a pulp them bring the semi over to run him over and finish him off. First he needs to pay for all the care for this poor innocent animal. How anyone can be so EVIL is beyond comprehension. He NEEDS to experience what poor Russell experienced. Nothing else is justice.
