[Sugar Cookie]

A Lexington man has been charged with torture of a dog/cat with serious physical injury or death after allegedly torturing and burning a dog, according to the Fayette County Detention Center log.

Brandon Combs, 35, was arrested Thursday night by the Lexington Police Department. His bond was set at $5,000.

The Lexington Humane Society shared graphic images of the dog’s injuries on Wednesday. The organization said they can’t pet Lillah due to her injuries, but they do show affection via treats.

“We’re happy that she has become our chunky monkey,” the organization said in the post.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES
The pictures say all that needs to be said of the abuse Lillah has suffered. But what they don't show is her sweet, sweet heart and her desire to live.
She greets us with a wagging tail and an eagerness to take on the day.
While we cannot shower her with pets and snuggles, we have found that food is her love language, so we shower her with treats and goodies. We're happy that she has become our chunky monkey.

Praying that Lillah recovers and is able to find her furever home.

Keeping fingers crossed that he will get a pawsitive update on her.

Lieutenant Jai Hamilton with Fayette County Animal Care and Control wasn’t mincing words when she learned of the sentencing for the man charged with setting his dog on fire two years ago.

“We had a law that fit with this circumstance, and we had evidence that was solid,” she said. “I was expecting there to be justice for Lilla, and I don’t think probation for someone who set their dog on fire is justice for her,” the lieutenant continued.

Brandon Combs was charged with the torture of an animal in January of 2022, but he entered an Alford Plea.

Lilla ultimately recovered from her injuries, but that’ll never erase what the lieutenant saw and what she firmly believes took place based on the evidence gathered. This type of ruling is also nothing new to her.

“I have been here for 15 years, and I would say the cases are not prosecuted how I would want to prosecute them,” she said. “I wish the court system felt the same way,” she added.
