Benton, Arkansas – A dog in Arkansas was subjected to horrific cruelty when someone sprayed his face with spray foam. According to Benton officials, the dog was discovered lying on the side of the road in the area of Whitewood Drive on March 20, 2024 – he was unable to see because the foam completely covered both of his eyes.

Animal Control officers rushed the dog to a veterinarian who was able to carefully shave away his fur to remove the hardened foam. The dog remains under veterinary care; one of his eyes has an ulcer and his veterinary team hopes that they will be able to save his vision.

This is a despicable, vicious act of cruelty and Benton City officials have promised to prosecute whoever is responsible to the “fullest extent of the law.” Animal Victory has created this petition with the hope that someone will come forward with information leading to the arrest of whoever did this.

When and if this person is found, we will be presenting the petition to court officials to help ensure that this case is not dismissed – this dog deserves justice and we need your signature today!

Information Needed

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with any information about this dog is asked to call or email Benton Animal Services at 501-776-5972 or Terry.parsons@bentonar.org.

We the undersigned demand that the person responsible for abusing this dog face the maximum sentence for all associated charges. This petition acts as our collective endorsement for this person to be punished to the fullest extent of the law for causing immeasurable pain and suffering to this dog. 

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.
