Two D.C. residents have been arrested for allegedly abusing a dog saved by the Washington Humane Society.

Christopher Wayne Johnson and Mark Donell Mosley, both 28, were arrested on December 2 and arraigned yesterday on felony animal cruelty charges. They’re accused of injuring a bull terrier the WHS named McFly, who was found two months ago in a wooded Southeast D.C. area with numerous bite wounds over his body and his throat slit.

“What McFly was subjected to and endured was horrific, yet he was determined to survive,” WHS senior officer Dan D’Eramo said in a statement. “The fact that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is taking this on at a felony level is a testament to the severity of this atrocious act of animal abuse.”

Johnson and Mosley will next appear in court on December 10. “Johnson is being held for violating terms of his probation for a previous animal cruelty charge related to dog fighting, and Mosley was released on bond,” according to WHS. “Both have been ordered not to own, possess or care for any animals in the interim.”

As for McFly, he’s doing great. According to the WHS, he’s “recovering from his wounds in the loving care of the Bull Terrier Rescue of Virginia.” He even has his own Facebook page.
