The guy on the phone didn't sound like he took me serious, but then I mentioned that she's trying to solicit money for this dog and claim it to be a "charity" fundraiser it sounded like he started to perk up. He told me that they'd run her name, stop by, and if something doesn't seem quite right, they'd start an investigation.
My exact words were, "You know this may not seem like a tough criminal, or something to waste your time on. But I know that in many cases, those who abuse animal have additional law breaking tendencies and in fact it was Jeffery Dahmer who started the research into linking animal cruelty to compulsive behavior..." |
Taryn, do you know if anyone ever called Animal Control to investigate this dog's lack of needed medical treatment or find out if the story is true? This dog's responses on either video could be real or reproduced by Lidocaine injections into the joints to affect gait or inner ear to affect vestibular response or even oral medication if this woman has Munchausen-by-proxy. I can't believe someone in or near her city in Michigan hasn't called them about her once the Mia story started so I wonder what ever came of it.
I sure hope the police took you seriously. Probably they are so busy with human-on-human crime, they don't have much time for poor little dogs but maybe an Assistant D.A. fresh out of law school who loves dogs in that city might.
