COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- After miraculously surviving being stuffed in a burning oven, Melody, a 20-month-old pit bull mix puppy, is recovering smoothly.
Channel 2's Ross Cavitt paid Melody a visit and said besides the booties and scars, Melody almost looks like a normal, happy puppy.
Gary Moore Jr., 25, of Cobb County, was charged with felony animal cruelty under a new statute in connection with the incident.
Moore appeared in court and asked that his bond be reduced so he could be released from jail.
Detective Steve Nolan testified in court that Moore confessed to putting Melody in a hot oven, saying the puppy had reminded him of an estranged boyfriend.
"Their relationship was not going forward and at that point he grabbed the dog, placed it in the oven, closed the door and held the oven door shut for a period of a few seconds," the detective said in court.
Moore told the detective he released Melody when she began howling, but did not seek medical treatment for her. His roommate took her in four days later.
Judge Frank Cox granted Moore a lower bond under the condition that he move in with his mother, and not live near any animals. Moore later bonded out, Cavitt confirmed.
Melody's recovery, in the meantime, is considered nothing short of a canine miracle.
What a hero.
He was probably drive to do by his worship of a bronze age/stone age/pre-Cambrian God.

Regardless of Viking's objection, we need to euthanise Moore. WTF? Just give the dog away, asshole.
I suggest an eye for an eye in this case.
