Unbelievable..........

This just in, on the nightly news:

MARBLE FALLS, Texas -- A 27-year-old woman has been charged with cruelty to animals after neighbors witnessed her dragging her five-pound Yorkshire Terrier by its leash with her Ford Expedition.
“The way her pads were, they were completely gone like as if you or I had the skin on the bottom our feet completely worn down until the bottom of our muscle,” said Jacey Ferguson with Marble Falls Animal Control.
Mimi also lost a number of her toenails which were torn off during the ordeal.
“It doesn't make sense...no matter what, it doesn't make sense,” said Captain Glenn Hanson with the Marble Falls Police Department.
The incident happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday in a residential neighborhood in Marble Falls.
Witnesses told police that Maricela Sanchez was driving about 10 mph with the dog trying to keep up.
Captain Hanson said it is not illegal to walk a dog by holding onto its leash while driving a vehicle.
“I would not recommend a car or truck, I would recommend a bicycle because as fast as you can go on the bike, your dog can go that fast most of the time,” Ferguson said.
Mimi is now with a foster family and has to have all of her paws bathed in Epsom salts four times a day.
Hanson also said that Sanchez did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“A certain issue with a language barrier of course couldn't get a whole lot more detail but she didn't, I don't think really saw that it was really any issue that she was dragging this dog behind the vehicle,” said Hanson.
“You wouldn't do this to your child, why would you do the same thing that requires the same amount of attention? They look at you like your child would,” Ferguson said.
Sanchez has a hearing next week where she’ll get a chance to convince a judge why she should be able to keep Mimi.
If convicted, Maricela Sanchez could receive up to two years in prison.

Can anyone explane to me what on God's green earth is happening to the "human" race?

I just now saw this story on my News Channel. She sure is cute little girl. I pray her owner isn't allowed to get her back.

They should drag Ms. Sanchez behind a vehicle until all her skin is gone on her feet and she loses toenails! She is not a human! That is a very sad story.

To me, abuse cases seem to be more frequent in the last 2 to 3 years. It's horrible how people can be so cruel to any dog/animal. I just don't understand it. They should never allow her to have ANY other animal, in my opinion

[enchilila]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am so disturbed by this!!

[nanahas3]

How horrible

[gemy]

Oh my Lord. What idiots the human race are. Okay we road work our LARGE Breed dogs behind a van. But there are two people the driver and the dog with the "watcher" out back in the van. The beginning speed is like 2mph. For 10 minutes at a time. Good effing grief... a Yorkie behind an Explorer? To wear out all the pad skin and to break nails? God in all that is good, don't let me meet this woman.

At a show once in the States, I let Magic play with the kids in an asphalt parking lot. They were throwing a toy, and he was fetching it. I was appalled to see when we stopped and went into our room he had lifted the skin under one paw pad. It was about 40minutes of play, but it had been a warm day. I pulled him from the show. And cursed myself, and immediately did first aid on his paw, with epsom salt baths, and spray dis-infectant. Anyone ever tried to bandage a paw with vet wrap? Well I gave up and went to the store for some liquid bandaid. I nursed him that whole weekend angry so angry with myself for letting him get injured. I also visited the vet on site at the show to have his paw looked at.

I just don't get why anyone would try to road train a Yorkie with a blinking car. Maybe and only maybe a bicycle.

Oh my God I'm going to have nightmares about that poor baby That woman should NOT get the pup back, nor should she ever be allowed to own anything living, ever again, except a houseplant WTF is wrong with her?!?!?!

I think you are giving this dim witted cretin credit for more intelligence than she actually possesses. I do not think for one second that this was "road training"....I think this was some lazy useless piece of.....that decided it would be easier to walk the dog by letting it run behind the car, than for her to get her lazy butt out and play with that poor little soul, or walk it herself. This kind of thing REALLY makes me lose my religion....and let me re-read that one sentence.....there ACTUALLY is a question as to whether she should get this baby BACK??????????????? AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS SOOOOOOO SAD???? THAT POOR BABY WOULD LOVE AND LICK AND KISS ALL OVER HER BIG UGLY FACE!!!!

[My lil friend]

I just do not understand what is wrong with people!! Most of what I would like to type here would get me into alot of trouble,so I will just say that this ?person? should get back what they were doing to that poor baby,,,wonder if she can run at 50mph.

I say the same thing I say when I see stories like this on YT, There is a VERY special place ment for people like this and by what I have read it is REALLY hot for a VERY long time.

[MidnightUnicorn]

This gets me swearing mad!

That poor dog. Also, that woman must have been awfully lazy to walk a dog that way! She's a c-word (As I said before, I only reserve this word for certain women, and she's one of them).

[Lovetodream88]

That is absolutely terrible! I hope the law slaps her with the highest punishment and I hope karma does too!
