For anyone interested, "maximus" the burned dog passed away today

I can't stop crying at work


Maximus Succumbs to Burn Injuries
July 17, 2007

Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, regret to announce the passing of Maximus, the two-year-old pit bull mix who was chained to a fence and burned in a horrific act of animal cruelty, last Thursday evening (July 12) in Brentwood.

Maximus suffered burns to more than 60 percent of his body, leaving his skin raw and his outlook grim. Maximus succumbed to his injuries early this morning at the Veterinary Medical Center in West Islip.

"Our entire staff and Maximus' physician Linda Loudon made every effort to save him." Dr. Reed Zaroff, owner of the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, said. "Everyone at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island was shocked by this crime and heartbroken at the loss of Maximus."

Maximus passed away shortly after 12 a.m. today, Dr. Loudon said.

"The trauma was too much for Maximus to handle," Dr. Loudon said.

Maximus was brought to the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island last Thursday by the Town of Islip Animal Shelter, which was contacted by a concerned citizen. Loudon contacted Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption, located in Port Jefferson Station, which agreed to assist the medical center in funding Maximus' treatment. From that time until his passing, the Maximus had been under the constant care of the staff at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.

Donations are still being collected to defray the costs of Maximus' treatment. For information, contact the Veterinary Medical Center at 631-587-0800 or online at www.vmcli.com. Contact Save-A-Pet at 631-473-6333 or www.saveapetli.net.
