Bobo's Legacy would like to Introduce you to Citybark

Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital click here to visit site.

This site is a tribute to Bobo – a deaf, six tear old Yorkshire terrier who was the victim of a heinous act of animal abuse that took place in Lakewood, Colorado on Sunday, October 19th, 2008. When authorities responded to an apartment fire, they discovered Bobo, who had been hog tied, placed on a burning telephone book on a stove, allegedly by his owner Tonya Martin.  Mark Warriner, a West Metro firefighter who responded to the call, is one of a handful of firefighters trained in pet first aid. He removed Bobo and administered oxygen but at this point, Bobo was barely hanging on to life. Warriner's actions stabilized Bobo, who was then rushed to Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital by ambulance. Paramedics reported that he had been “maliciously and purposely lit on fire by its owner.” Warriner said, “This one, for some reason, hit me a little harder than any of the other ones have.”

Bobo was treated for second and third degree burns over fifty percent of his body by veterinarian Elisa Mazzaferro and the staff at the hospital. Twenty-four hours after the incident,  Bobo’s chances of recovery seemed favorable. Early on the morning of October 23rd 2008, three days after this heineous act, an emotional Dr. Mazzaferro reported that BoBo had died that due to “organ failure”.

Bobo’s owner, Tonya Martin was arrested by Lakewood police and currently faces charges of felony animal abuse and felony arson. Ms. Martin reportedly has a history of mental illness.

Each year, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital treats dozens of companion animals who have been the victims of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Many of these cases never receive public attention, however, there is a tremendous need for funds to treat them.

Bobo’s Legacy is a 501(c) 3 that has been established to financially assist Wheat Ridge and all other Animal Hospitals with the expense of other animals with Bobo's plight. A special account has been opened at Bank of the West in Bobo’s name. All contributions will be disbursed to the hospital on a case by case basis and contributions are tax deductible.

We are also in the process of drafting legislation to change how companion animals are acquired. Although Colorado provides penalties and fines after an act of animal cruelty has been committed, the law is silent with regard to preventing companion animal abuse by deterring animals from ending up in the wrong hands. Our goal is to change this process.

Please sign our guestbook for updates on this legislation. When it is drafted, we will need the support from all of you to get it enacted.

Please bookmark this site and check back often for updates and stories of the companion animals your contributions helped save.
