Dog with zip-tie around neck rescued in Florida
3-year-old Bugsy is now recovering in a local shelter, but the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office wants to find who’s responsible for tightening a zip-tie around the pit bull mix’s neck. It took 3 days for animal control officers in Brooksville to track Bugsy down and capture him.

Humans are horrible.
Find the owner and zip tie his neck
Disgusting
This is sad
I don’t trust pits, but humans can be even more vicious and deadly.
God bless that beautiful baby. What cruelty lies in hearts
It’s amazing that dog is able to trust humans after that. There’s so much about dogs that shows far greater humanity then we do.
Oh I hope they find this person and they who does something so disgusting as to put a zip tie around a did neck. I mean what the heck is in this person’s mind. They are crazy. This is so evil, corrupt, not a stable person at all. This person who did this to an Innocent beautiful dog. This person needs to go to jail, no bond, go directly to jail. This is such cruelty. No dog deserves this.
Poor dog the person that did this should be in jail
I would put a zip tie around the person’s neck who did this
This is the worst thing I have seen in a while. If they ever find the owner they must be zip tied the same way. Make it very tight.
Poor bugsy. He was in real bad shape and that’s just cruel.
I wonder if he had that as a little guy and then got lost and grew into and out of it.
Our shelter uses zip ties in place of collars at the shelter..
I guess I always hope it’s not intentional but it sure doesn’t look good.
Speedy recovery, bugsy!
This is horrendous. I will never understand how people can do this. Thank God this pup was saved! I hope they find out who did this.
I swear that if i saw the POS that did that they would wish they were dead.
This type of cruelty ALWAYS correlates with some mental health issues within the owners! Hope that the doggy gets overwhelmed with a new care and unconditional ❤ ✌
he must have put it when he was small, not his fault
This is cruel
I’d like just five minutes alone with whoever did this.. Five minutes and a bag of zip ties. That’s it, and maybe some pliers, five minutes, a bag of zip ties and some pliers…..
I would get arrested if I saw someone do this to an animal…
they should be hung
I hope they find out who did that to him… They need to be in jail…
I hope this was put on him when it wasn’t tight & he ran away & it became that tight from growth BC at least that would mean some evil person didn’t do this on purpose. Its horrible either way but he’s so gentle it seems he maybe didn’t experience a person trying to PURPOSELY hurt him.
Can you believe in 😱😱
Animal abuse should be a felony
THANK YOU FOR HELPING HIM. SOME PEOPLE ARE SO HEARTNESS SO SAD BUT HAPPY ENDING
The person that did is despicable human being!!!
Aww thank goodness for all of you being there for him
That is messed up. People are horrible. And they say pit bulls are bad smh
Need to find the asshat who would do such a horrible thing!
Don’t just report it, find the psychopath (ik u can do it if u seriously want it) and put a zip tie on his/her neck. I’m sick of animal lives not mattering when they r more worthier than us humans!
some people are evil
but I have to believe that most people are good…..
lets all get along everyone!!
theres so much toxicity in the world right now
love eachother
have a great day!
my channel isn’t about hotdogs
Poor baby! People can be so cruel. Hope they find the monster that did this to him. May he be happy and safe in his forever home! ❤️
Poor baby boy.I hope they find the 💩💩💩&prosecute them to the fullest 😢 extent of the law.
The owner who did that will be in prison for life with a zip tie on neck forever! It can happen
You can see the pain in his eyes. It was probably some dumb kid that did it to him. I’m glad he has recovered but that is probably going to haunt him the rest of his life.
Horrific act of animal cruelty. The monster who did this should be in prison
In my opinion regardless of the country we are in, if we are a civilization that cares about safety of its citizens – people who harm animals should be registered for life in a special database, as it is done in the case of ped**hiles.
Aside from the fact that animals don`t deserve suffering… I would like to point out that in many cases those who abuse animals have serious problems with complying with the law – they often turn out to be the future killers (of humans).
Each of us should be able to access information whether there is someone in our area who can hurt any dog, as in this case. Not only for safety of our animals, but also for ourselves, our families and homes.
Nobody who acts like this is normal, innocent.
As long as our government, no matter what country we are in, doesn`t take such crimes seriously… we are not safe.
Whoever did it, needs to be executed.
Looks like he is blind in one eye. Must have gone through hell with this abuser
😢
Wtf zip tie the neck of who ever did this.
Who ever did this is pure evil
You do this to a dog you don’t deserve to live. Any humans who don’t think this is that horrible of a crime against a domesticated animal are for sure a waste of oxygen.
I WISH WE COULD FIND WHO DID THIS , WE COULD DO IT TO THEM !!!!! THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE !!!! SICK F**CK JUST EVIL ,!!!!!!
Whoever did that needs to have a zip-tie put around their neck! So glad that sweet pup was
rescued. Thanks for sharing Bugsy’s story.
