A stray Rottweiler was tied to a pole and set on fire after a man from Puglia became 'irritated' by its presence.
The sight of the dog wandering along a street in Grottaglie, Taranto, was enough to prompt the man to drench the animal in petrol, tie it to a pole by its neck with wire and set it alight, Leggo.it reported.
Fortunately, the dog managed to break free as soon as he started burning and is now recovering at a veterinary clinic in San Giorgio Jonico, the website reported.
A veterinary nurse is reported to have burst into tears after seeing him in so much pain from his injuries.
Arianna, another nurse at the clinic, said it would take the dog, named ‘Rott’ by staff, a long time to recover from the burns as well as the cuts to its neck caused by tugging on the wire.
He will then be put up for adoption.
