The Rottweiler mix puppy doused with kerosene, set ablaze and then thrown from a moving vehicle was euthanized Saturday morning.

Mandy, as she was named, suffered from burns on most of her body when veterinarians decided to euthanize the animal.
"I've never seen an animal with as many burns as this -- or as severe," said veterinarian Connie Wright. "It's really not that unusual to see animals that have been burned -- I hate to say that. Most just lose their fur. But most of them aren't doused in kerosene, either."

The puppy's skin had been falling off and had separated on her
belly.

"As the skin dies, it cracks and opens up, and she loses bodily fluid," Wright said.

The dog was found by a teenager, the granddaughter of a member of the Tulsa Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The girl said she saw someone in a car in front of her toss the puppy from the vehicle on Wednesday, Wright said.

The teen said she stopped, put out the flames and took the puppy to the organization's clinic for treatment.
