The 5-month old Rottweiler mix puppy named Lazarus that was set on fire is recovering from its injuries.

The puppy suffered third-degree burns on his face and back. Terri Sparks, veterinarian, had to remove two-thirds of his right ear. The puppy was also underweight when he arrived at Coastal Animal Care and Bird Clinic on Eisenhower Drive.

Terri Sparks said he is a wonderful dog responsive and frisky with her two small children.

Police have located the dog's owner but no arrests have been made in the case.
