SALT LAKE CITY â The owners of a dog that was intentionally set on fire and left near a Utah highway are asking for changes to be made to animal cruelty laws in Utah.
Dixie, a red heeler, was found March 1 after being abandoned along North Frontage Road near Interstate 80.
The dog was allegedly taken by Michael Paul Busico, 40. Busico has known the dogâs owner, Trista Heywood, for more than a decade as he is her motherâs ex-boyfriend.
