From the Today Show it looks like. They found the dog under a vehicle in Egypt. Poor thing.
Dog whose muzzle was cut off in Egypt finds loving adoptive home
As a dog owner and pet-sitter, Kelly Hutson spends her days surrounded by four-legged friends. But there was one pup who changed everything — all the way from Egypt.
Anubis was found in Cairo with a disfiguring injury that captured the Texas woman's heart, leading her down the road to adopting an abused rescue dog from across the globe.
Hutson says the reports about what happened to Anubis vary. When he was found beneath a car in Egypt, the dog's muzzle had been cut off, leaving him with an open nasal cavity and missing his nose and upper jaw.
"The stories go that he was barking too much and someone cut off his muzzle, or the other one is that some thieves tried to break in to wherever it was that he was living," Hutson told TODAY. "Being a good guard dog, he barked and they did what they did to him."

Good story, maybe everything at NBC hasn't gone to the dogs.
