Cruel Arrest: South Carolina Man Apprehended for Taping Dog's Muzzle, Causing Severe Harm
The image of a dog with electrical tape tied to its snout makes many people angry
Police said the man arrested was William Leonard Dodson, 41, living in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, USA. After the outrageous actions that William did to Caitlyn, this man has been charged with animal cruelty and is currently being held on a bail of up to $ 50,000. However, animal lovers are still very upset that $ 50,000 is not commensurate with the pain and fear that this dog has to go through.
The poor dog was tied with duct tape around its snout.
William Leonardo Dodson, the perpetrator of the abuse of Caitlyn the dog.
It is known that Caitlyn is a Staffordshire mixed breed and is known by many people living in the area for her lovely friendliness. But suddenly one day last week, Caitlyn appeared at the door of a resident’s house, with her snout tightly wrapped in duct tape and showing signs of infection. Many sources say the cruel owner did this to prevent Caitlyn from barking.
Caitlyn’s muzzle shows signs of being tied for a long time, leading to blood vessel blockage.
The kind people immediately took Caitlyn to the Charleston City Veterinary Center. The poor animal was diagnosed with a blood vessel blockage and likely had to have part of its tongue amputated. Doctors said Caitlyn’s muzzle was probably bandaged about 3-4 days ago. Fortunately, due to the dedicated care of doctors, this dog is showing signs of good recovery. They will treat Caitlyn with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and lasers to minimize damage to the mouth area.
Caitlyn is being treated by skilled veterinarians and is showing signs of recovery.
