This is so heartbreaking. How can anyone do that to such a furry creature? Tanya Martin, the owner, will be charged in court. His owner tied him up and put him on the stove. Someone came to Bobo's rescue with over 50 percent of severe burn on his body. He is currently being hospitalized while everyone awaits on whether or not he'll make it.

Here is the latest article on Bobo:

With the severity of Bobo's injury and the length of hospitalization, I am sure donations would be greatly appreciated. You can write a check payable to "Bobo's Care" and mail to Table Mountain Animal Center Foundation, P.O. Box 270587, Louisville, CO 80027 or do it via online by going to this site at https://www.blacktie-colorado.com/online_sales/nonprofit_donation.cfm?id=1313 and remember to put in "Bobo's Care."

  1. I'm so saddened by this story and just learned that Bobo the dog didn't make it. Bobo died this morning at 1:30am peacefully, Oct 23rd.

    Rest in peace - Bobo - you are at peace now... We will fight to stop cruelity to animals in memory of you and many other animals.

  2. Cruelty on animals, be it domestic or wildlife, all over the world has gotten out of hand! Humans need to do more to get involved on their behalf. Because of my pets, I am contributing my time and volunteerism for other animals in need. Action speaks louder than words.
