Hollywood Police are on the hunt for the person(s) responsible for severely injuring a pit bull-terrier mix and leaving him for dead inside of a suitcase at an abandoned building.
The 2-year-old dog, now named Ollie, is recovering from surgery and was underwent a second surgery Wednesday to stitch up stab wounds to his chest.
Doctors said Ollie suffered 20-30 wounds on his leg and back.
Officers responded to a call at about 1 a.m. on Tuesday at 1945 Lee Street. When they arrived, officers found a dog paw sticking out of a suitcase.
Despite the horror Ollie has been through, he remains pleasant while recovering.
A nearby resident said it is likely that the perpetrator is from the area. Others are concerned there is an animal abuser on the loose.
Grateful Paws has created a GoFundMe for Ollie's case. Thus far, the page has raised more than $24,000.
