Grafton Woman Gave Away 'Puppy Doe,' Dog Found Tortured in Quincy

Animal advocates and concerned citizens are posting relentlessly on social media the story of Kiya, now dubbed "Puppy Doe," a pit bull found in a Quincy park so brutally tortured that she had to be euthanized shortly thereafter. 

According to the Boston Herald, Kiya's original owner was forced to give the dog up for fear of losing her homeowner's insurance, and she was given to a Grafton woman. Police tell the Herald that while the original owner is "heartbroken" and very helpful, the woman from Grafton hung up on reporters after saying she had given the dog away and had no further information. 

As of Monday, Sept. 22, a reward fund started a group on Facebook was up to $15,000, said Boston Magazine, for any tips leading to the arrest of the perpetrators. "In Search of Justice for Puppy Doe" said, on its page, that "This is a place to come together, mourn and demand justice for this tortured & abused dog who deserved so much better from humans. We are sickened by this story and won't stop until the person(s) responsible are brought to justice!"
