If you were in charge, what would be the punishment for this crime?

At the shelter where I'm a volunteer, an animal control officer brought in a young male Boxer (pure bred), with some horrendous injuries. Not only was he very malnourished, but someone had poured some sort of acid or drain cleaner down his back (about 12" along his spine). The acid had gotten on top of his head and on his hind legs, and wherever it touched, it burned the flesh off. The vets had to cut away the ruined skin and staple/stitch him back up. He'll always have the scars, but he's a fantastic dog, even after this horrible abuse. He's so friendly and playful, and he simply LOVES being with people. If you were in charge, what would you suggest be done to the person who hurt this dog? Just a side note... animal cruelty is now a felony in my state, and carries a sentence of 3-5 years per count. They never caught the person who injured this dog, by the way. I just think there's a special corner of Hell reserved for people who abuse animals.
