What a cockapoo story. It should be standard for such a heinous crime to spend some time in the big pen. This is not a piddling tempest in a teacup. Vet they need is not counseling. Leash this couple alone and they canis start the whole abuse all over again. Don't be collie me a PETA member, but akita the whole mess is that cruelty to animals should be swiftly and apso-lutely punished.
Oh, Brother! *Rolleyes* ;)
