TUCKER, GA -- Nearly two months after a dog was discovered buried alive up to her nose in Tucker, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is bringing more attention to heinous crime by using a mobile billboard with a display offering up to a $10,500 reward for information on the person(s) responsible.

The mobile billboards, featuring a picture of Lulu the dog, will circle the Stone Mountain-Tucker area beginning Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and concluding five days later, the organization said.

Lulu, a Chow-mix, was found June 6 on an ATV trail near Rock Mountain Boulevard and Lewis Road, where she could have been trapped for days. DeKalb resident Eric Purdue found her and tried to nurse her back to health, but she died at the veterinarian's office a day later being rescued from the hole. "There's a hole here, too," he told WXIA, pointing to his heart. "Everyone in my house has a hole in their heart because of this—everyone in my family was traumatized by it. But the dog was loved beyond measure for the last 24 hours of her life."



The animal's plight has angered many animal lovers in the community and across the United States. A local Boy Scouts volunteered their time to hand out fliers at Stonecrest Mall recently. Scout Troops Work To Find Abuser Of Lulu, Dog Buried Alive

"This dog suffered in terror in the dirt for possibly days before she was finally found, and whoever is responsible is still at large," says PETA Vice President Colleen O'Brien. "The reward of up to $10,500 for help with nabbing this culprit still stands, and PETA is asking the community to come together to identify this dog, where she came from, and who buried her alive."



With the billboard on site, members of the Georgia Animal Rights and Protection along with PETA will hand out fliers Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the intersection of North Hairston Road and Memorial Drive.
