The Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department, after investigating allegations, has determined that a pit bull mix puppy was not intentionally set on fire or abused.
There were some social media reports to the contrary.
A spokesman for the police department said the investigation determined the 4-month-old puppy knocked over a skillet full of grease while the owners were cooking.
The owners tried to get the dog medical treatment but could not afford the cost, and they did not want the dog to be put down, the spokesman said. As a last resort, they contacted animal services knowing the puppy would receive appropriate medical care, according to the spokesman.
The evaluation by the veterinarian revealed that the injuries sustained by the puppy were not consistent with gasoline or any type of flammable accelerants, police said.
Currently, the puppy is being treating and showing great day-to-day progress, according to the spokesman.
Police said the investigation is concluded and no criminal charges will be filed.
