Model Mayhem: Florida Model Arrested After Stomping and Beating Puppy

Keevonna C’Ante Wilson, 24, is a model and actress who, if guilty, is proof that beauty is only skin deep.  I am not sure what it is like being her photographer or her manager but you sure do not want to be her pet, Chasity.  She is charged with animal cruelty after stomping on the puppy.  Appropriately, she appears on the Model Mayhem site, where she refers to her as “The Flawless Beauty.” Wilson   Warning the video below show violence that will be disturbing to many viewers.

Wilson, 24, is shown below in Aventura, Florida stomping and beating her puppy.  The crime was captured on a September 20th security view, according to a police report. Investigators subsequently identified Wilson (seen at left) as the alleged abuser and

The puppy is a Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix that was taken in for examination and medical care after building security staff saw the video.

The “flawless beauty” obviously was referring only to her looks, though she says that her “foundation is to stay focus, stay hungry, and always remain humble.”  She left out homicidal.

Wilson is now charged with felony animal cruelty.

What do you think should be an appropriate sentence for this type of crime?

Here is the Florida law in pertinent part:

828.12 Cruelty to animals.

(1) A person who unnecessarily overloads, overdrives, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance or shelter, or unnecessarily mutilates, or kills any animal, or causes the same to be done, or carries in or upon any vehicle, or otherwise, any animal in a cruel or inhumane manner, commits animal cruelty, a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or both.
(2) A person who intentionally commits an act to any animal, or a person who owns or has the custody or control of any animal and fails to act, which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, commits aggravated animal cruelty, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.

(a) A person convicted of a violation of this subsection, where the finder of fact determines that the violation includes the knowing and intentional torture or torment of an animal that injures, mutilates, or kills the animal, shall be ordered to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $2,500 and undergo psychological counseling or complete an anger management treatment program.
(b) A person convicted of a second or subsequent violation of this subsection shall be required to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $5,000 and serve a minimum mandatory period of incarceration of 6 months. In addition, the person shall be released only upon expiration of sentence, is not eligible for parole, control release, or any form of early release, and must serve 100 percent of the court-imposed sentence. Any plea of nolo contendere shall be considered a conviction for purposes of this subsection.
(3) A person who commits multiple acts of animal cruelty or aggravated animal cruelty against an animal may be charged with a separate offense for each such act. A person who commits animal cruelty or aggravated animal cruelty against more than one animal may be charged with a separate offense for each animal such cruelty was committed upon.

  1. “What do you think should be an appropriate sentence for this type of crime?”
    ~+~

    I disagree with our host that there is guilt to be found in these actions.

    In my view given the information presented in the article, the video, and the police reports the state has not proven the elements necessary for a conviction, much less the felony. In fact, since the state has not argued any injury to the dog I’m surprised the case hasn’t been dismissed by a judge.

    Someone familiar with Florida common law could offer some answers but in Washington (as the example I can draw from) the state must prove all of the elements of a crime to charge a defendant, or secure a conviction. I do not see the burden met in this case.

    I also will state that it is obvious the officers who wrote these reports engaged in embellishment in their description of what happened. Here is how I support this claim of mine:

    The report reads:

    “Wilson holds the walls of the elevator for leverage and repeatedly kicks the dog over and over again with fully force into Chasity’s body. Chasity then runs to the other side of the elevator where again Wilson walks up to her and again uses the walls of the elevator for leverage so she could use her full force in kicking and stomping Chasity. Once the doors open, Chasity runs out with Wilson. You can see in the video that Chasity does not want to go with Wilson and is seen running away with her, but ultimately goes with her owner.”

    Six days later, officers filed a supplemental report indicating that a photograph was made of the dog. Pertinent text reads:

    “Overall photographs were taken of a small breed, white colored long haired dog. No visible injuries were noted but the dog winced a couple times when being held.”

    I believe the embellishment is shown when the officer states that Wilson used Full Force to kick the dog. That is not displayed here. Full force would involve a much greater degree of thrust in the kick or stomp. Wilson did not extend her leg back as far as she could to gain more momentum in the kick and she did not lift her knee above ninety degrees to pounce on the dog. She was not crushing the dog. Also the officer stated that Wilson used the walls “as leverage” that is clearly not apparent in the video. What is apparent is that she is using the walks / handrails to balance herself whilst standing on one leg. Balancing does not at all confer leverage to make kicks stronger. It might sound awful from an animal husbandry or moral standpoint to kick a dog, but kicking a dog is not illegal if it does not produce any visible injury that amounts to a criminal level of cruelty.

    Nowhere in the reports has an officer shown any evidence of an actual physical injury to the dog. In fact, other than the actions taken by the accused, in my view the video does not show the dog suffering any injury. The second supplemental reads that no injuries were noted, and continues with “the dog winced a couple times…” That reads to me as backtracking. The dog winced? Six days after the event? Did the state prove that the wincing was directly caused by the events six days ago and not some other cause or that the dog simply did not like being held by strangers. Nothing is definite here.

    Here is some insight into how Cruelty is defined:

    828.02. Definitions

    In this chapter, and in every law of the state relating to or in any way affecting animals, the word “animal” shall be held to include every living dumb creature; the words “torture,” “torment,” and “cruelty” shall be held to include every act, omission, or neglect whereby unnecessary or unjustifiable pain or suffering is caused…

    While unnecessary or unjustifiable are certainly very broad in scope, I still haven’t seen evidence the dog actually suffered provable pain. I then turned to Black’s Law online and found the following reference:

    …The negative descriptions of cruelty are perhaps the best, under the infinite variety of cases that may occur, by showing what is not cruelty. Evans v. Evans, 1 Hagg. Const. 35; Westmeath v. Westmeath, 4 Eng. Ecc. 238, 311. 312. Cruelty includes both willfulness and malicious temper of mind with which an act is done, as well as a high degree of pain inflicted. Acts merely accidental, though they inflict great pain, are not “cruel,” in the sense of the word as used in statutes against cruelty. Comm. v. Me- Clellan, 101 Mass. 34.

    Law Dictionary: What is CRUELTY? definition of CRUELTY (Black’s Law Dictionary)

    Under this definition I do not see any display of great amounts of pain in the video of the dog. Surely it was not good by any means, but whether it is sufficient to prove a felony is insufficient in my view to secure a conviction.

    1. “The puppy is a Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix that was taken in for examination and medical care after building security staff saw the video.”

      How long after the event did a vet see the dog?

      What was the examination results?

      Was the vet writeup amended to the report, and if not, why not?

      My sister fractured her spine after a horse flipped over backward on her. She had no idea the injury was that bad. She just had a bit of a sore back and kept going back to the barn. But her back didn’t get better so she finally saw her doctor. Who flipped out.

      There are a surprising severity of injuries with which someone can still be ambulatory. We just found that out recently. Our dog was initially diagnosed with an upset stomach. Given an anti-emetic. Got better. And then crashed a few days later after playing. He had a massive vascular tumor in his abdomen, pressing on his bladder, and internal bleeding. We had absolutely no idea.

      Maybe I’m just projecting right now. But I’d have to see a vet report, within 48 hours of the incident, clearing the animal of any injury. It might have looked worse than it was. But it looked bad. That’s a really little dog. And they are prone to subluxing patella. The weight ratio between her and the dog are so disparate that it’s really easy to hurt them. I’ve accidentally stepped on my cat, who screeched because it hurt his little toes. I can’t imagine what it would do to actually kick someone that small, even if she pulled the full force. Even if all she had was bruising, a vet would be able to detect soreness.

      I can’t say if it meets the criteria of a crime. I’m not a lawyer. But it fails the sniff test for a decent human being. This video really bothered me. People need to learn to control their temper and find another outlet.

      1. Karen – one of the things I teach all my new dogs is that I might step on their toes and they need to be aware of that. It is not personal. 🙂 I am just a clumsy walker and my dogs like to stretch out between me and the kitchen, where my coffee is. Once they understand that, when my foot hits their foot, they withdraw it their paw as fast as possible. 😉 In return, I am the supplier of their cookies and for going outside to the backyard.

        1. Same here. Our pets have come to the realization that I can’t see in the dark, and don’t always look where I’m walking. They are ready to snatch their paws out of the way at a moment’s notice, too.

    2. “I do not see any display of great amounts of pain in the video of the dog”

      How would you know? Are you a vet, vet tech, dog walker, dog trainer, dog behavior specialist?
      The dog is hidden from view in the second attack, and only visible enough in the first for us to be able to see it present its belly in a submissive posture, which is typical for a dog which is being attacked by a more alpha species. That the dog follows this young paragon of dog ownership out of the elevator is evidence only of loyalty to her, we have no audio to provide us with additional info. The fact that the dog seems to be running around in the space just outside the elevator is not conclusive; it could be a sign that the dog is confused, is trying to evade its owner, or may be trying to find its owner. What is obvious is that the dog is not leashed, and the elevator appears to represent her apartment complex. Irresponsible of Keevona (criminy, what a name) not to leash her dog, as Keevona does not appear to be someone capable of training a dog properly.

      I have owned 9 dogs, including two I had to euthanize due to cancer, and I can tell you from experience they are stoic animals, and it is very difficult to tell when they are feeling pain. I have owned both a Yorkie and a Lhasa apso, similar to the shih tzu, and as Karen S says, these dogs are more fragile than larger breeds. Even though the model appeared to be barefoot or wearing flat sandals, she definitely leveraged her body against the walls of the elevator so that she could take out the full force of her anger on the dog, not once but twice in the confined space. No matter what the dog did, she did not deserve this treatment, and the model should be charged to the fullest extent of the law.

    3. Daren:
      You don’t think a puppy outweighed by her attacker by over a hundred pounds who’s kicked in the corner seven times and then five times after and after being stepped on between the blows didn’t feel severe pain? You really don’t have to leave your common sense at the door of the courthouse. And we can presume kicks to the abdomen, legs and head result in pain. Btw, there was nothing accidental about that attack.

  2. If guilty only two words “total Bitch”
    She don’t want to come to my neighborhood!

    1. No, you just wave it and you still disrespect what it truly means to all its citizens.

  3. this b is 1 BL that does’t matter. i hope she never gets another modeling gig again.

    1. Look at her mug. It’s surprising she’s ever been hired for such things.

  4. Perhaps aliens will vaporize horrible people en masse one day. One can only hope. Humans are a**h***s

  5. This woman is a young adult so there is no excuse for abusing an animal. Too late to rehabilitate her IMO. I agree with Paul re “the maximum penalty and no animals for at least 50 years”

    Meanwhile, here’s the latest update on the Awan bros – why isn’t Prof Turley addressing this issue? The MSM has all but buried it.

      1. what are you talking about Ken Doll? And are you addressing me or CV? I am aware that Trump and sons are big trophy hunters – but so what? Where is the “Torture” you describe?

        What I cannot excuse is the silence surrounding the Awan bros scandal – potentially bigger than Watergate.

        1. Better for authorities not to discuss ongoing investigations. Mueller is not saying anything about the Ruskie case..

          1. Cause there is NO case. How much money and time has been spent on this nonsense?

            1. Kenny Starr says indictments are coming. Me thinks he knows more than you and me,

              1. He doesn’t know anything. He’s speculating given the Mueller crew’s thuggish treatment of Paul Manafort. Expect bogus indictments on process crimes.

    1. Just like they’ve all but buried the Weinstein sexual assault accusations.

      1. CCS – the New York Post has run several very nice articles on Weinstein and his wife’s coming troubles. They are keeping up with the story.

        1. That’s good to know Paul, I’ll check it ou. But the TV stations have said little, and the late-night hosts are completely mum. Guess they’re too busy crying over the lack of gun confiscation.

  6. Britain is civilized enough to allow judges to impose lifetime pet ownership bans on convicted animal abusers, under the Animal Welfare Act. Why do American states not allow similar prospective injunctions? We have lifetime sex offender registration which affects employment and which limits where these individuals can live. Why not lifetime bans on pet ownership?

  7. I just read the linked article. It said the dog had “no visible injuries.” This could be much ado about very little.

    I’ve seen videos of people receiving what appear to be vicious beating and it turns out they have no injuries, not even bumps or bruises. Videos like this can be misleading.

    1. I read the court pleadings somewhere yesterday. The dog demonstrated by its behavior during the examination that it was in pain.

      1. OK–I didn’t know that. But there might be other explanations. Animlas can be hard to read.

    2. People hell bent on murdering another also, frequently, don’t succeed in successfully doing so. So f’ing what? But, for the grace of God, the intent and the efgort didn’t match up with the outcome. The mere fact that the dog isn’t dead or suffering from serious injuries is irrelevant. The intent was there, as evidenced by the actions that anyone with a head could witness. If a person shoots at someone, in an attempt to murder that person, but misses, do you think that he or she should be rewarded for that failed shot? What’s with you people today?? I suspect that it’s the moon. . .among other things.

      1. You don’t know if the intent was there. She might have not seriously kicked the dog–like maybe as soon as her foot made contact she stopped kicking and never followed through. Whether the dog isn’t dead or seriously injured is very relevant. It’s probably a better index of how hard she kicked than the video. If she was seriously kicking and stomping the dog with the intent to injure the dog would have suffered unjuries. He didn’t I don’t like what she did either but based on the lack of serious injury (and the artricle I read didn’t even mention minor injury) I’m inclined to think the incidernt looked much worse than it really was.

        1. The woman was clearly brought up in a household where the abuse of animals was demonstrated and/or tolerated. You think this was a one-off?

    3. Even if the dog receives minimal physical injury, to subject your own puppy to this abuse shows – in my opinion- a deprived indifference to it. And, given that there’s been shown to be a clear connection between animal abuse and child abuse, she’ is a monster!

  8. The article said the dog was taken for examination and “medical” care–I guess they meant veterinary care. What were the results of the examination? Sometimes these things look a lot worse than they really are. Maybe we should withhold judgement pending the results of the examination. It’s possible she never really kicked the dog very hard.

    1. I suggest that you invite her to pet sit for your beloved animal. Better yet, ask her to babysit your child.

      1. I just said it might not be as bad as it looked and the absence of “visible injuries” is probabaly supporting evidence.

  9. As a dog lover, this makes me cry. I got really sick for a couple of years and if it wasn’t for my little Havense dogs, I would have been really depressed, too.

    Outside of my emotions, I’ve heard that if this is a sign of a psychopathic mind.

  10. I’m not defending the woman or her actions but pointing out the willingness to accept video evidence in this context but not in another. I’m thinking of all the video’s I’ve seen of police beating suspects where the response was, “We don’t know what happened before the filming began.” Here we have no problem drawing the rightful conclusion that there was nothing the dog could have done to deserve that treatment. Food for thought.

    1. You really are a pathetic human being. We don’t know what the dog did before the camera started to roll to deserve this? You are going to compare an innocent puppy to one of the multitude of human pieces of excrement that you so boldly defend, time and time again, who just tried to run over a police officer or wrangle his gun from him in an attempt to murder him? If I wasn’t convinced of it before, I am, now. . .you really are f’ng nuts.

      1. Bam Bam, OR maybe he just likes to throw arguments out there. I’m not always convinced that people actually believe what they write other than they think it will rile up others by taking weird, inflammatory and untenable positions.

        1. My daughter has an Havanese pup. They are very loving and loyal. The pup was rescued from a puppy mill. All cruelty against humans and animals should be condemned including the cruelty of Sheriff Clarke and Sheriff Arpaio.

      2. I’m speaking to the conclusion you are willing to draw in one case (which I don’t dispute) and your inability to accept something right before your eyes in another without allowing for possible mitigating circumstances.

    2. Enigma, did the defendant admit that the dog was unmanagable and aggressive either at the time or in the past?
      If not I really don’t see another”context” here. Her gestures were violent in nature and she looks like she intended to dilberately do harm to the animal.
      I think most stompings result in extinguished subjects of said stomping.
      I need more from where your coming from to agree with your alternative explanation meme.

      1. I don’t have an alternative explanation. There is nothing that could have taken place prior to the filing to justify what I saw. The woman was not, “in fear for her live” or “acting in self-defense” she as just angry at something the puppy did and totally lost control. It’s obvious in this case, why not in others?

        1. “…just angry at something the puppy did ” -enigma

          …or “just angry” and took it out on the sweet defenseless puppy.

          http://time.com/4353606/anger-america-enough-already/

          “After the September 11 attacks, TIME’s Lance Morrow wrote a powerful essay titled, “The Case for Rage and Retribution,” in which he argued: “For once let’s have no fatuous rhetoric about ‘healing.’ A day cannot live in infamy without the nourishment of rage. Let’s have rage. What’s needed is a unified, unifying, Pearl Harbor sort of purple American fury—a ruthless indignation that doesn’t leak away in a week or two…”

          “It was cold, it was bracing and coming when it did—Morrow wrote on September 12—it was thrilling, precisely what the moment called for. But a bulldozed garden is not 9/11 and knitters aren’t Martin Luther King.

          “No less a symbol of that awful 1968 political season than Lyndon Johnson used to favor the Biblical quote, “Come, let us reason together.” Johnson himself failed in the end, and so did the entire country in that bleeding year, generations ago. We paid a steep price for our rage back then, and if we’re not careful, we’ll pay it again.”

          1. The Las Vegas Shooting and Our Age of Anger

            Jeffrey Kluger
            Oct 04, 2017

            http://time.com/4969640/las-vegas-shooting-anger/

            Anger is one of humanity’s elemental particles. It’s small, unstable, simple to the point of crude. And yet, in the right densities and balances, it’s fundamental to who we are. Lately, in America at least, that balance has been wildly off.

            Nobody was responsible for the slaughter in Las Vegas on Oct. 1 except the monster who pulled the trigger — not policymakers in Washington, not anger-stokers on cable TV, not even the gunmakers who manufactured the instruments that made the carnage possible. The killer did the killing — period. But that killing came in a context, and that context is anger.

            Americans have made something of a fetish of our rage of late — a fact that’s even been leaking into our language. The base is never just “animated,” it’s always “enraged.” Health care debates are never “spirited,” they’re always “furious.” In the run-up to the 2016 election, a CNN/ORC poll found that 69% of Americans reported being either very or somewhat angry at the state of the nation. That showed itself in a kind of rage voting on both sides of the political divide. Trump! Bernie! Take that.

            “The way the Internet and cable news work, outrage over any event can be mustered easily,” says David Pizarro, a professor of psychology at Cornell University. “We feel those emotions strongly in ways we didn’t used to.” Michael Kimmel, a professor of sociology and gender studies at Stony Brook University in New York, refers to this kind of rage as “aggrieved entitlement,” the kind of luxury anger a culture can allow itself when its basic needs like food and shelter are met.

            “Still, ambient anger can become a culture’s dry leaves — kindling lying everywhere that’s utterly harmless, but only until it meets an errant spark and a good gust of wind. Mental illness may be the spark. As for the wind? Rage or, worse, contempt, can be more than enough — especially in the case of racially or politically motivated killings like Charlottesville or the Charleston church shooting.

            ““We are increasingly dividing ourselves into in-groups and out-groups,” says Pizarro. “Anger and contempt can cause you to see the other group as less than your own — even less human.” Non-humans, of course, become easier to kill.

            “Each of us is a part owner of our national anger, and each of us can play some small role in fixing that problem.”

      1. JT throws out red meat for his “base” and this is a clear choice of his to, distract, deflect from all the troubles of Trump. He wrote and repeated any and every thing he could about HRC e-mails, but when it comes out that Trump’s staff, family and others have done the same thing,,,,,,,,,,CRICKETS. JT did at one time write about the law, now its just right-wing talking points. And if his base reads anything that facts get in the way of their opinion, well…you’re a leftie, commie, socialist or just racist against their view, then you get their raft. Their comments coming in 3…2…1….

        1. There are all sorts of news stories in the world. Not all of them involve Trump. A rude awakening, I know, but someone needs to enlighten you. Only in a delusional mind sincerely believes that every story, about everything, some how, some way involves Trump or should involve Trump. Totally and certifiably nuts.

          1. Maybe if someone read my post to you, you would understand what I was saying. JT WILL not point out the laws that trump has broken, he WILL posts pictures of his vacation or other stories but NEVER write about trump’s troubles. If that’s not deflect, and distract I just don’t know what is.

            1. bam bam, please show me the posts that JT was posted on family and staff’s e-mails, please show me the posts on plane travel. JT uses the old magician’s trick……….LOOK OVER HERE.

            2. Your world might revolve on an axis of politics but most everyone else’s doesn’t.

              1. Too bad fairness and integrity are not integral to you and many of the RWNJ posters on this site.

    3. You aren’t serious, are you? Animals and children are truly defenseless, one would have to be a special kind of sick to be so flagrantly cruel. This was a puppy, not a German attack dog. I know she won’t, but she deserves to rot, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t even know what to say anymore about the state of most people’s consciousness these days. It is truly depressing.

      1. No I’m not serious as in suggesting any reasonable defense for the woman’s actions. Nothing the dog could have done previously, justifies what we saw. I was making a comparison to situations that we manage to explain away.

        1. I didn’t figure you were, your comments are always quite thoughtful and appreciated. This young woman, like so many young people, is just *not well*. I don’t see how that could possibly even be up for debate.

        2. There are no comparisons. That’s just the point. Only in your mind do comparisons exist between the scenarios that you have attempted to create. You think that you are attempting to be so wise, yet you have established yourself as anything but wise. Human beings, outside of the range of the rolling camera and its film, can and often do pose grave, serious and mortal threats to others–to both law enforcement and to the public, at large. Often, what we witness, on film, is the aftermath of that grave, serious and mortal threat, where a life or lives were put in perilous danger. Your sad and pathetic attempt to equate this incident, where this being proceeded to stomp a helpless animal–an animal which could never, even in your wildest of dreams, have posed the same grave, serious or mortal threat, outside the range of the camera–is indicative of your worldview. Tell us, enigma, had this perpetrator not been a black, ghetto rat, from the hood, would you be posing the same question? Would you be as willing to do so for one of her white, hillbilly trailer trash counterparts, who we frequently read act about in news, commiting the same kind of atrocity? Let me know when that will happen. The Second Coming will be here before that occurs. In the meantime, I won’t hold my breath.

    4. I see your point, but the situation here seems less akin to adult male conflicts and more akin to child abuse. This creature is wholly dependent on this monster for every aspect of its well-being. In my opinion, that’s a far cry from a cop trying to arrest or detain someone. In those cases, I think it’s reasonable to believe the cop is doing his job keeping the peace. But I’m open to proof of personal animosity motivating him when there is any.

  11. If it were up to me, I would have her spayed so she can’t have children to abuse, and then sentence her to five years in prison. Women who are in prison for child and animal abuse have a particularly hard time of it. Most women in prison are there for economic and drug offenses, and they have children and pets back home whom they think about every day. They know they are missing the important milestones in their children’s lives and deeply miss them. So when some entitled little b!tch comes in for stomping a helpless puppy, the hardcore inmates are going to focus their anger are her. She’ll learn more than she could ever imagine about bullying and abuse.

  12. Right, and people think felons should be allowed to vote.
    This piece of human waste needs to be removed from all social media and banned from it for 20 years.

  13. WOW – such an evil act caught on camera! That poor puppy running around so innocently. How can you not just have such love for the animal?! This girl raged her anger at this poor pup – just imagine what she would do to a child she gave birth to. God forbid. I hope this terrible Human gets the medical help she needs, but she absolutely must be educated because punishment without education and training will only increase this beastly girl’s anger and sense of entitlement. I sincerely hope this puppy – if it is hers – is now in a loving home, getting that love and attention it is entitled to. The case and video is the perfect argument for why I believe people who want pets in their home should have to take a test.

    1. Tests are useless. Sociopaths and psychotic can easily pass, with flying colors, any sort of a test that you could give them. Easily. Remember, the notorius Ted Bundy was in law school. An obvious of example of someone not only being capable of passing tests but also an example of someone who could excel in doing so. Tests would not ferret out those who would do such a thing.

      1. Yes, you are very right. However, people like this young girl, who may or may not be a sociopath – but perhaps just some ill-educated and poorly trained miscreant, tests can stop a huge percentage of those who are not in charge of their own behaviour and emotions from having access to animals that they can abuse. Animals are unable to eventually grow up and start communicating the abuse they are suffering in the way that a child can. Therefore in my opinion we should not be subjecting these defenceless creatures to potential abuse or even contact with untrained people. I do not even own a pet and I just cannot understand it myself. I just see us – as a society – just putting people and animals at such unnecessary risk. I get your points on the sadists – they are more calculating – we cannot do much about them because like you rightly said described – they have a unique skillset, but I do believe in those tests. 🙂

  14. The article leaves out one crucial answer, and that is. . .whether or not this poor and abused puppy was permanently removed from her care and control?
