An 11-year-old boy has been charged with arson after he and two of his friends allegedly poured a flammable liquid on a dog and watched her burn.
Angel, a 2-year-old Siberian husky, was chained to her dog house in a fenced area at the home of her owners Sunday when the three boys allegedly set her on fire.
"She is still alive," said Lowndes County Chief Deputy Tony Mulligan. "She may make it, but it [the injuries] are pretty bad."
The 11-year-old was arrested Wednesday by the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department and turned over to juvenile authorities. The two other youths have not been charged yet, but officials expect to make the arrests soon.
At about 3:30 p.m. Sunday, deputies were dispatched to 58 Swartz Drive, Lot 2, in regard to the incident. Lisa Brasfield, the dog's owner, told authorities her pet was chained to the dog house when the incident occurred.
The boys apparently poured some liquid around the face and upper body of the dog. The fire burned out the dog's left eye, one of its ears and its upper body, Mulligan said.
Angel has received treatment and is now home with her owner, authorities said.
Mulligan said witnesses reported that the neighborhood boys had been seen aggravating the dog earlier.
Because the state of Mississippi does not have a felony charge that fits this crime, Mulligan said the boy was charged with arson. Similar charges are expected against the other two boys, Mulligan said.
Lock him up now & throw away the key, save future human victims.

. Nothing sickens me more than cases like this, you can tell a lot about someone in the way they treat animals.
