Husky ‘Cooked From The Inside’ After Owner Tethered And Muzzled Him Outside On The Hottest Day Of The Year

[Sugar Cookie]

On June 15, a Beaver County woman tethered her Husky, Noki, outside and left the dog chained with a muzzle on his face…it was the hottest day of the year and Noki had no water or access to shade. The tether prevented him from escaping the 90+ degree heat, and the muzzle kept him from being able to cool himself, even moderately, through panting.

When officers arrived at 29-year-old Di Xiao’s home in Baden, Noki was on the ground and in “severe distress” from the extreme heat. When questioned about the dog being left outside to suffer, Xiao stared at the officer blankly.

After Noki was taken to a veterinary hospital, the veterinarian explained that he had “cooked from the inside,” with an internal temperature so high that there was initially no reading on the thermometer – when his temperature started to fall, it finally registered at 109 degrees. At this point, Noki was seizing and bleeding because the intense heat caused his organs to shut down. The only option was humane euthanasia.

Xiao is facing two felony charges of aggravated cruelty to an animal and four misdemeanor counts of cruelty and neglect to animals. She violated Pennsylvania’s Libre’s Law which stipulates that dogs must have access to shade and water when outside, and specifies that they cannot be left outdoors for more than 30 minutes in potentially dangerous weather conditions.

You would think this would just be common sense ? I hope she gets a prison sentence and a lifetime ban on owning any pet! Poor Noki suffered!

Wow, the mugshot. What a crazy-cold, annoyed psychopath that one is.

Only a very bad one would muzzle a dog and put it in the heat like that.

She looks like a nasty bitch. The kind who does whatever she wants and starts screeching and freaking out if you try to say anything about it.

The muzzle was probably because the dog fuckin hated her and she didn't want to get bit.

I know an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind but I still wish we could tie her ugly face shut and stick her outside in the heat til she dies. With a nice big icy bowl of water just out of her reach the whole time
