ECORSE, MI — Authorities are looking for the person who badly abused a dog found in Ecorse. She suffered burn marks all over her body and has broken teeth, according to the Animal Resource Funding Foundation.

Experts said the dog, who they call Destiny now, was burned with cigarette butts, firecrackers or chemicals. All of her teeth are broken, they said, most likely from trying to break away from her chain.

The group is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.
