NEW YORK - A pit bull who was found on fire while tied to a tree on Long Island died on Tuesday. A Long Island animal protection group announced Monday that it was offering $1,000 for information that would lead to the conviction of someone who set a pit bull on fire after tying it to a tree.
The SuffolkCountySPCA said the dog, a male, suffered burns on over 60 percent of his body. His injuries included severe burns on his face and ears, the loss of teeth and puncture wounds on his neck, the group said.
The dog, named "Maximus" by emergency veterinarians, was tied to a tree in Brentwood, N.Y. when the attack took place. Veterinarians who treated Maximus said they smelled gasoline in his fur.

"Even after what he's been through, Maximus still tries to wag his tail when he sees people enter his isolation area," said Suffolk County SPCA Chief Roy Gross on Monday before the dog succumbed to his injuries.
