CROWLEY, La. (KLFY) — A $2,000 reward is being offered to find the person responsible for severely burning Wylie, a stray dog found in Abbeville.

Wylie is recovering well at Rice City Animal Hospital, where she has become a local celebrity. Wylie was found severely burned in Abbeville, prompting a community effort to find the person responsible for her injuries. The reward for information leading to the identification of the culprit has increased to $2,000, encouraging anyone with knowledge to report it to the Abbeville Police Department.

“Wylie is doing absolutely fabulous here,” said Dr. Erin Olson of Rice City Animal Hospital.

Dr. Olson noted that Wylie is no longer on pain medication or antibiotics and her wounds are healing well.

Wylie is receiving regular bandage changes, and her wounds are developing good granulation tissue, which is essential for skin recovery. She is active and social, playing with other puppies at the clinic, and has become a beloved figure among the staff and visitors.

Dr. Olson expressed that Wylie will be missed once she is discharged, as she has become a lively presence at the hospital. There is hope that Wylie will soon find a new rescue or family once she is medically cleared.

Wylie’s recovery journey continues to inspire those around her, highlighting the community’s commitment to her well-being and justice. There is a $2,000 reward for anyone who can help the Abbeville Police Department find the person responsible.
