Princess was burned so badly she was euthanized after her arrival at the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association, said Jeff Moran, spokesman for the health department, which oversees the animal care agency.

Officials of the Pennsylvania SPCA had intended to offer to try to nurse Princess back to health, said assistant public relations director Megan Kane.

Another dog set afire in South Philadelphia several years ago was saved from death by the SPCA staff, Kane said.

That badly burned dog was found in flames Oct. 4, 2001, at 5th and Morris streets, and taken to the SPCA. A 5-month-old German shepherd-shar pei mix, she was named Baby by SPCA personnel.
