Dog Found with Mouth, Legs Taped Recovering from Surgery

A small dog that was abducted and thrown inside the trunk of a car is recovering and doing well after undergoing surgery to repair injuries suffered during the incident, according to the Prince William Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals's (PWSPCA) Facebook page.

Doctors at the Veterinary Surgical Referral Practice in Manassas performed leg surgery on Ozzy, a West Highland Terrier, on May 16 for about half the cost of the $3,000 surgery, PWSPCA President Melissa Korzuch said.

Donations from volunteers helped pay for the rest of the surgery, Korzuch said.

Police said 44-year-old Khanh Hoang Hong broke into the Quail Run Lane home following a dispute with the dogs' owner, with whom he had a romantic relationship.

The body of Ozzy's companion was found ducted taped and in a trash bag near Copeland Drive in Manassas.

Ozzy was able to escape and was taken to an animal hospital by a passerby.

Hong is charged with burglary, two counts of felony animal cruelty and two counts of grand larceny (animal) in connection with the April 17 incident.
