Severely abused puppy rescued in Tennessee

TENNESSEE -- When Julie Bird Marecki picked this puppy up from the side of the road on Hubb Gilchrist Rd. near Ramer, Tennessee, she never dreamed of the outpouring of love headed her way for her selfless act. All she knew was this pup was injured, and she wanted to help him.

The vet report revealed even more disturbing news than she imagined, far more that what meets the eye

Now dubbed "Chip," this sweet puppy, believed to be a purebred yellow labrador, has suffered some of the cruelest torture his vet has ever seen. He's also becoming the newest internet animal star.



The swelling and hair loss on his face are what veterinarian Dr.Gina Welton believes were flammable liquids being poured on him, then attempting to set him on fire.

Chip's eyelids have been completely removed, as well as his bottom lip. The tip of his penis was cut off. Chip also has an indention on his head from blunt force trauma, as well as missing several teeth.

Dr. Welton is contacting an outside surgeon, where the estimate to repair his abused body is estimated to be between $2,000 and $3,000.

Julie gave Chip a good bath, after finding him covered with dirt, fleas and ticks. He's also on oral and topical antibiotics to help him heal.

By sharing Chip's story, you will bring more and more attention to his cause and hopefully the person who did this can be caught. Plans for a reward are being considered, and Chip is also helping catch his abuser. He's terrified of camo clothing, so his abuser may be a hunter.


Julie spoke with the Sheriff of McNairy County. There are so many versions going around as to what may have happened to Chip. Some say his injuries resemble a meth flash back, others think he has strangles-a nodular and pustular skin disorder that affects puppies.

Neither of these would explain the dented head, or the mutilated penis. Willful abuse seems most likely, and we all know abusers start with animals before moving on to humans.

  4. The abuser should be caught and the horrible things that he did to the puppy should be done to him, jail is too good for him!
