Moon was brought to the Hollywood Animal Hospital on Sunday, October 12th, with second degree burns on most of her body. Moon’s owner found the injured dog when she went to the home of her ex-boyfriend, 27-year old Alain Leclerc Williams. She immediately called the police.
Dr. Amanda Pinder said Moon has received oxygen therapy and intensive care. Her burns have been cleaned and dressed; her current prognosis is good but guarded.
The loss of proteins seen in burn victims and the risk of kidney failure is still a threat, according to the animal hospital.
“Moon has a wonderful disposition for having endured such a tragedy. While, she has a long road of care ahead of her, baring complications, our prognosis for her is good,” said Pinder.
Williams is facing one count of torment, deprive, mutilate or kill an animal, as well as multiple counts of battery on a police officer, among other charges.
“Burning the skin off an animal is really just beyond anyone’s imagination of what the dog went through,” said Broward Judge John “Jay” Hurley.
Williams is being held on $86,000 bond.
