A stray dog in the Salerno area was burned after someone threw boiling oil on him .

The complaint , in Sala Consilina, in the province of Salerno, is by OIPA volunteers who are making an appeal to anyone who may have useful information to identify the person responsible.

The dog , who had been staying near the local Bus Terminal for some time and had won the affection of travellers, had been missing for two days . He reappeared yesterday evening in dramatic conditions : visibly injured, with serious burns all over his body, caused, according to initial veterinary findings, by boiling oil.

The dog was immediately rescued by a young woman who usually takes care of him and who, desperate, contacted a delegate of the International Organization for Animal Protection (OIPA) seeking help.

An OIPA volunteer responded to the appeal and took the animal to a veterinary clinic where he received initial medical care.

"An act of real torture against a dog who was doing nothing but looking for a home and a little affection," wrote the OIPA volunteers in a note.

The organization, active in animal protection, has launched an appeal to the community, inviting anyone with information useful to identify the person responsible for this gesture to report it.
