A dog in
Columbus, Ohio is lucky to be alive after a man repeatedly
beat it with a concrete block for about 20 minutes, while shocked passersby frantically called authorities and tried to intervene. One concerned neighbor called 911 and decided to also record video evidence as proof of the abuse. The abuser
threatened the neighbor by saying he would 'shoot up' their home, before fleeing from the scene while police were on their way.

began to drag the animal away into an apartment building. Around the same time, several other men appeared and began to throw concrete blocks at the animal.
The main abuser continued striking the dog over and over again for around 20 minutes, despite neighbors pleading with him to stop.The dog was left with
serious injuries as the result of this attack. The left side of her body had been badly beaten, and her forehead had developed an open wound.
Thanks to the clear video evidence and multiple eye-witnesses, authorities have been able to locate the man. He had previously been sentenced for
kidnapping and aggravated robbery back in 2020, and now he faces charges for
animal cruelty and animal torture.His history of violence and instability shows that he needs serious intervention and treatment, and to be kept away from animals and children. Sign the petition to demand that authorities provide the necessary treatment, and keep animals and people safe from this man!
