The situation started when the dog’s leg had been badly broken. The owner attempted to splint the leg with popsicle sticks and when that did not
work, he cut the dog’s leg off with a pair of scissors.
Humane Society’s chief veterinarian Dr. Aleisha Swartz served as the key expert in the case and the pet owner was sentenced to 60 days in jail
and a year of probation.
Special thanks to the Prosecutor’s Office for their willingness to champion this case.
