Volunteers Raising Funds for Dog Found With Mouth, Legs Taped

About $6,000 is needed to treat a dog seriously injured by a suspect who allegedly taped he and another dog's legs and mouths before throwing them in the trunk of a car.

Ozzy, a West Highland Terrier, and his female companion were abducted April 17 from a home on Quail Run Lane, in the Manassas area of Prince William County following an alleged dispute between the victim and the suspect, authorities said.

Ozzy was able to escape from the car near Thoroughfare Drive where he was found by a passing motorist and taken to an animal hospital.  

The dog is expected to survive,  but suffered a serious leg injury that requires surgery, according to the Prince William Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PWSPCA.)

The PWSPCA is trying to raise $6,000 for Ozzy's surgery, according to a message posted Sunday on the organization's Facebook page.  Donations can be through Paypal via this special PWSPCA link.

The female dog died during the incident and her body, with the mouth and limbs still duct taped, was found inside a trash bag near Copeland Drive, where police said it was dumped by the suspect

Khanh Hoang Hong, 44, of 7567 Quail Run Lane, is charged with burglary, two counts of felony animal cruelty and two counts of grand larceny (animal) in the April 17 incident.
