Justice for Caitlyn

When Caitlyn the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was found last week, she was in a horrendous condition. Her muzzle had been taped shut, bound impossibly tight with electrical tape.

Since her rescue by the Charleston Animal Society, she has been undergoing several treatments and surgeries, since the tape had left Caitlyn unable to eat or drink, barely able to breathe, and at risk of losing her tongue. The poor pooch is now even undergoing hyperbaric treatments, IV fluids, endless antibiotics and even laser treatment to save her tongue.

The malicious act was condemned by many, and Caitlyn’s abuse case went viral on media sites, calling for justice and her rescue facility even offering up to US$1,000 as a reward for information leading to the arrest of her abuser.

 As of 1 June 2015, her abuser has been identified and arrested. William Leonard Dodson, 41, has been charged with the ill treatment and torture of an animal.

While we are glad to know that justice has been served, we hope that sweet Caitlyn continues to recover from her horrible injuries.
