BELGRADE -- A young mixed breed dog was found in a Belgrade suburb on Wednesday with all four of her legs cut off; charges brought against as yet unknown perpetrator.
Passers-by found the mutilated animal hiding under a car and alerted the authorities, taking the dog to the vet.
The dog, which the vets named Mila (Darling), was not aggressive, but was scared, dehydrated and emaciated when they came to her rescue.
They believe that the animal was attacked and mutilated likely by more than one person, and several days ago, and say it's a miracle she survived the ordeal.
"When they brought in the dog, we were shocked, it's a dog that has had all four legs cut off! It's impossible that she suffered an accident, this was done on purpose," said veterinarian Miomir Ranđelović.
"When they asked me if a man could do this, I said, not a man – an inhuman being. Imagine a person with their hands and feet cut off, their condition, and how they might go on living," Ranđelović said.
The only solution for Mila now is to be fitted with prosthetic limbs, which are not manufactured anywhere in Serbia. This would also have to be followed by a period of training.
Until a new home and a solution for her condition has been found for her, Mila will stay at the veterinary surgery where she is currently being treated.
It has also been announced that charges were brought against the unknown perpetrator or perpetrators. In Serbia, cases of cruelty to animals are treated as felony.

I can't believe how someone can be such a monstrum
Sorry for bringing this bad news on this board, but I very much love all dogs, and 2 days can't stop to thinking about this case, and never will forgot this ...
Damn ,Americans or Russians please drop one atom bomb here is Serbia, to kill that monstrum, I'm ready to give my life just to that monstrum die and never do it again.
