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]

I’m in the same state as this piece of shit. Let me find him and run him over with my car until he’s bleeding and crying. This kind of evil needs to be put out. Point blank period!
Love it
EXACTLY…..and that is being kind to this evil monster.
Michelle, when you’re done running him over, I’d a go at this POS! ALSO, He does not deserve prison, at tax payer’s expense. Why should this ass wipe be fed, given a warm place to sleep, free medical after what he’s done. All animal abusers should be put down. No 2nd chances .. now that’s h
Justice.
You are absolutely right S Brown. Prison is a waste of money for these monsters. True justice is an eye for an eye. They deserve to endure the same suffering they inflicted on these poor helpless animals. No second chance otherwise they will start committing atrocities again.
I will personally drive to ur state and hold down this POS while someone runs over every limb! I bet people would think twice about abusing animals if that video was posted on social media. We need to start taking these matters into our own hands! Our governments punishment is worthless! Free food, bed and cable at our expense, that’s more like a vacation, not punishment…
I totally agree with you!!
Completely agree with you.
Im right there with you!
This inbred piece of shit needs running over and make sure he doesn’t breed more shit
Animal abuse should not be tolerated at all! Anyone who hurts an innocent animal should be severely punished!!!
Animals cannot get justice for themselves, so we must do it for them!
There should be new appropriate punishments made for such people. Get Hannibal Lecter to think of some good ones.
What a disgusting thing he is!!! Get this thing and put it in jail, fine it and never ever let it have animals again!!! Please get this thing!
The face of a dumbass … throw in a prison cell and throw away the key … https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2284064574970/man-arrested-for-throwing-dog-out-of-pickup-truck-on-westmoreland-county-road
Thank you for posting his picture. I’m in a far away state from this POS but if I ever see him, I’m running over this fuckheads throat with my foot.
This is the true definition of a redneck, inbred, hillbilly! This ugly, worthless fuck needs castrated.
And I feel the same way, I see him anywhere and its pedal to the metal. Then reverse, forward, etc. Until he is writhing in pain so he can experience even a little of what he put this poor puppy through!
This CRUEL ASSHOLE needs to be BEATEN & RUN OVER REPEATEDLY WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE BEFORE BEING THROWN INTO A PRISON CELL WITHOUT SNY MEDICAL ATTENTION RENDERED TO HIM FOR ALL OF HIS PRISON STAY!!! He should NEVER be ALLOWED TO OWN, ADOPT, AND BE AROUND ALL OTGER ANIMALS ESPECIALLY DOGS/PUPPIES FOR THE REDT OF HIS MISERSBLE LIFE!!!!!!
Exactly! Do unto him everything he did to the poor innocent dog.
Kill this useless humanoid!!!!
Kill this disgusting piece of shit! Absolutely heartbreaking what he did to this poor dog.😭😢😥
The laws on the books now are a joke.
They should be so harsh that any one would think twice before doing anything so heinous against an innocent animal.
Stiffer prison time-
Stiffer fines-
All across the country.
Never legally own another animal again-
And should register as an abuser for life-
Right now it’s a slap on the wrist and a small fine
As much as I’d love to see Devin Jacob Eli Rugg “put down”…sadly, that probably won’t happen. So within the letter of the law I hope this evil human is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. More importantly, he needs to be BANNED FOR LIFE for owning or having an animal in his possession. WE NEED A NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR ANIMAL ABUSERS…just like we have for pedofiles. So no matter where they go in the US, everyone will know who they are living next to.
Devin needs to be run over…and over and over and over
Please make sure this low life spends the maximum time locked up, fined and made to pay vet bill. Apparently this was not his dog but he should have a lifetime ban on owning any animal!
Poor Russell. Be brave sweet one. As for Rugg, your idiot owner, only prison time will do. I wish Rugg could be beaten and run over but prison will do. He is ignorant and a coward. Thanks to the rescuer. There are truly kind people in the world.
Death penalty for this human trash
All animal abusers must be put to death. I am ready, willing and able to help perform this procedure! A slow and agonising death for these evil cretins is essential!
John – Devin Jacob Eli Rugg is an uneducated asshole and he needs to be behind bars for his crime of torture and attempted murder against Russell. When will prosecutors realize that the Animal Kingdom needs our protection and that they are the only ones who can punish those who choose to harm innocent animals? Please prosecute this piece of shit to the fullest extent allowed under Pennsylvania law. Please show the world that Westmoreland County WILL NOT TOLERATE animal abuse and murder! Please!
This evil jerk needs to be prosecuted with felonies to the max and physically serve all time in prison. No leniency. What did the other person in the truck do to stop this? The excuse this happened was because he got in a fight with his girlfriend? This POS needs to rot in prison. Prosecutors need to set the example and prosecute to the max and sentence to the maximum. Take this seriously because it is serious.
This idiot human needs the same treatment!! He needs to learn respect all living things!! Karma
Mr Rugg needs to pay for this horrific cruelty and needs prison time.let his fellow inmates give him what he deserves. This is one sick piece of shit and should not be walking the planet.. I want justice for the innocent dog. That poor dog has suffered at the hands of subhuman scum.He needs to go.
