[News] Burned Yorkie's owner found guilty of felony cruelty The woman who tied a 6-year-old Yorkshire terrier to a hot stove and fatally burned the dog pleaded guilty Wednesday to felony aggravated animal cruelty. Tanya Marie Martin, 38, was arrested Oct. 19 at her Lakewood apartment. Police were called by a neighbor, who had seen smoke coming from the apartment and had gone to check on Martin. Inside, he heard the dog, Bobo, yelping and saw that the terrier was on fire. Bobo died of organ failure five days after the incident. Martin will be sentenced June 4. :confused::(:mad: |
As far as I am concerned, the following should be her sentence: Sentenced to be tied to a hot stove until she catches on fire. The end. Sickening. |
poor little dog, they need to do the same thinhg to her |
Wasn't she mentally ill and not taking her medicine when she did this? I would hope that she will never be allowed to own another pet EVER! Mental illness is horrible but animal cruelty is inexcusable! :thumbdown |
There's a special place in hell for someone who would do that to a helpless little animal. |

Amazing how she knew to hurt a helpless dog but did'nt hurt herself! Yes, she is diffenately deranged but needs to be put away so she dosen't hurt another one. If she can't remember to take her meds she needs to be put in a place where someone can give them to her. |

ohhh yes, I remember this one. She was mentally ill, but I am sorry to say, it doesnt excuse what she did. They need to confind her to some type of hospital, where they give her meds and she cannot leave the place. This was just awful. I can't even imagine this happening. I look at my babies and want to just cry. |
Def. sick. I can't beleive it. |
OMG!!!! :eek: |
Thank you so much for posting the update! I was wondering about poor Bobo's case. She needs to be put away for a long time, far away from animals! |
OH MY GOODNESS! This is my first time hearing about this poor poor baby being left in the care of someone so sick. How sad .... |
omg! I agree, she should never be able to own a pet, and get the punishment she deserves! Thinking about the poor dog really makes me angry and sad! |
it is upsetting that somebody would do something like this and i agree that she deserves to suffer the same thing that the dog did. obviously if she destroyed that cute little face than she has mental problems. |
Reading this makes me sick. I hope she gets what she deserves. |
I live in a family full of mental illness and I don't understand how this could happen. Everytime I hear this story it makes me cry:( |
Still sickening after all this time She needs to be locked away in solitary confinement and never ever be allowed to get near another animal for the rest of her life, ever. |

Some justice has been served although I firmly believe that the punishment should fit the crime. The person that moved and left her dog Ella crated in the backyard with food a few feet away got off easy. See Florida Today web for more info. |
that's sick:mad: |
:cry: Life is so unfair and unkind. Sometimes it seems there is just no justice! :unlove: |
She should be treated just like a SEX OFFENDER, she should have to register and the whole community could help oversee she never own a pet again!! These people sicken me.:thumbdown |
I hope the punishment fits the crime - but it won't. She shouldn't ever be allowed to own another animal, EVER. And like Archie said, if she can't remember to take her meds and the resultant decompensation results in a death of a creature, she needs to be locked away where someone can remember for her. :( RIP sweet Bobo. |
omg :( poor baby... |
OMG! I am sickened by this and hope that justice is served...:(:(:( |
This is horrifying. I agree with everybody who says the punishment should fit the crime! Even those who aren't "dog people" would have to agree that a woman who would hurt a poor defenseless animal this way might eventually go on to hurt people too...she should at least locked up and they should throw away the key. |
