Target: Phoenix Police Department, Phoenix Mayor Gallego, Phoenix City Council
On the morning of Tuesday, March 5th, 2024, an unknown arsonist attacked a family’s dogs (an 8 y/o Doberman named Duchess and a 16 y/o Pitbull-mastiff named Duke) while they were sleeping in their backyard pen. Stella McPhee was away working a night shift when she got the dreadful call at 5:30AM. The attacker poured gasoline over the fence onto the dogs and their beds before lighting a fire and fleeing. Duchess was able to escape without any injuries but Duke could not. He fought until his last breath, and the family made the agonizing decision to have their loyal, elderly dog, put down due to the extent of his burns. A gofundme has been set up to assist with unforseen costs related to this incident. For more information on this horrible cruelty, please visit https://www.azfamily.com/2024/03/07/dog-doused-gasoline-lit-fire-backyard-phoenix-home/ for the agonizing story.
We’re calling on the Phoenix Police Department to find this animal abuser and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. This person is a danger to not just animals, but to the people of this Phoenix neighborhood. Behaviors such as these lead to even worse crimes and violence. We’re also calling on Mayor Kate Gallego to lead the city of Phoenix, and to be tough on crime, because this is just unacceptable for the rest of us to be able to get past this, without Duke receiving his justice.
We need to find this savage and set HIM on fire
YES YES YES. THAT MONSTER DESERVES TO SUFFER THE SAME WAY. HE WILL KNOW AND FEEL WHAT HE DID TO THIS POOR DOG.
I do hope that cruel perpetrator will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I hope they find the person who did this and they are jailed.
But owners need to realize you can’t leave your animals unattended. There are too many cruel people in this world that can cause harm to animals so just don’t do it.
this poor dog was at home in his yard!
