Maxmilian, the savagely beaten pitbull terrier mix who was found with missing footpads and cigarette burns in San Francisco last week, had to be euthanized Sunday morning after his kidneys failed, Animal Care And Control officers said.
"He endured so much abuse that his body was not able to recover despite the vet staff's efforts," Animal Care And Control San Francisco said on its Facebook page. "There was nothing more to be done," volunteer Deb Campbell told NBC Bay Area.
A $10,000 reward was offered by Maddie's Fund for information in the case after the pup was found at 6 a.m. last Thursday under the U.S. Highway 101 overpass near South Van Ness Avenue with severe injuries, including blunt force trauma to his head and body and broken and missing teeth. His paws were severely injured and were missing pads and nails and there were cigarette burn marks on his body.
"Absolutely broke my heart when I saw him this morning, lying on his side, but still managed to wag his tail at me," said a May 15 post on the agency's Facebook page.
Campbell said the reward offer generated lots of leads. "Because of it our animal control officers were able to find Max's owner — Max had been stolen from him early last week," Campbell said. "Our captain arranged for him to be with Max at the end when he was euthanized, so at least he was able to hear his owner's voice one last time."
"It's been hard on our staff. but they are determined to find who did this to Max, and are pursuing many leads," Campbell said.
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is encouraged to call Animal Care and Control at (415)-554-9400. Callers may remain anonymous.
You’re in Heaven now, old fellow.
This is eerily similar to a 2014 case near Boston, they caught the perp who was a Polish national visitor. They ended up deporting him back to Poland.
I wonder if he’s back now in the Bay Area. Here’s an article from the Globe.

Dittos, Veto. What a horrible story.
Whoever did this to this poor pooch deserves to burn in hell

“I wonder if the hate for this breed has any limits.”
No.
Neuroses is like that.
I can’t even believe that fantastically stupid question was even asked.
Not even here.
A good trainer could offset and properly channel any breed’s “natural tendencies”.
Apparently that is beyond you.
I hate a lot of people here.
Sorry.
Some weird glitch misdirected this to hitech redneck, so:
I hate a lot of people here.
Ping
don’t like pits but no animal should ever be tortured like that....the person that did it is sick. I know a woman that has a great pit, but she said be careful of dane....pit liked to put his head in your lap, loved to be scratched on his neck.dane just watched....she lived up in the mountains in California by herself...
Would you cut off a dog’s footpads in self-defense?
What are you yammering about???? I couldn’t even get a coherent thought or conclusion out of your post. Are you glad this poor dog was tortured, because he was part pit? I am not sure from your post.
You don't do that in self defense.
The article had no curiosity about this, but I wonder if he helped his elderly patient along their way as well?
