Pit Bull Taken From Its Yard, Tortured And Left For Dead

SAVAGE, Minn. (WCCO) -- A pit bull was taken from its fenced-in yard, tortured and left for dead on Wednesday in Savage, according to Midwest Animal Rescue & Services.

MARS suspects that the pit bull, named Cesar, was singled out because of his breed, as the black lab and Chihuahua that were also in the yard were untouched by the human attacker.

The dog's condition is unknown, but Cesar was bleeding and limping when found in the family's driveway. The pit bull is now at Green Vet Services.
