Massachusetts authorities are investigating after a dog was found with burns to her face and body

- Massachusetts, USA -


The Animal Rescue League of Boston is caring for a dog who was found along Route 1 in the area of Ellis Avenue in Norwood, with second-degree burns to her head and body.


The furbaby, a 1-year-old mixed breed female now named Annie, was found by a passerby on August 19, 2022, who then took her to the Norwood Police Station. Annie was wearing a leash and collar but did not have any tags or a microchip.


In a press release the ARL said that Norwood Animal Control Officer Henry Cerqueira contacted ARL Law Enforcement and Annie was transported to ARL’s Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center to treat her wounds.


As the horrific and devastating pictures show, Annie suffered burns on her head, neck, shoulders, front limbs, and abdomen.


On August 22, 2022, Annie was transferred to Tufts Veterinary Emergency Treatment and Specialties in Walpole due to the severity of the wounds and pain level.

For several days Annie has received intensive veterinary care before returning to ARL.

As the nonprofit said, Annie “has a long road, perhaps months, of recovery ahead of her.”


ARL's Law Enforcement and Norwood Police Department are jointly investigating the incident as a case of animal cruelty and abandonment.

Both agencies are now reaching out to the public for help in hopes of finding the monster(s) responsible for this heinous crime.


If you have any information that can help with this ongoing investigation, please, come forward and speak up for the VOICELESS VICTIM.

Please call ARL Law Enforcement at (617) - 426 - 9170 ext. 110 or submit your tips via email.

Alternatively, please call the Norwood Police Department at (781) - 440 - 5100. Thank you!


If you wish and can afford to donate toward Annie’s medical expenses, please visit the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s website. Thank you!


When a story puts a huge knot in my stomach, I struggle to express my feelings so, right now, the only thing I can say to the heartless, soulless, and useless individual who did this to Annie is, may life treat you and the people you love the most, the SAME way you treated Annie!

CHARLES GREGORY ex-Caney City Police Chief, has a pending animal cruelty charge for abandoning a dog

Updated: Jun 22, 2022

- Texas, USA -



~ Update: June 22, 2022


I have emailed Malakoff Police Department Chief Floyd Thomas, Sergeant Touncy Hart, and Henderson County Attorney Clint Davis to inquire about the dog.

Chief Thomas told in an email that he did not have any information and that he was not familiar with the case.

Attorney Davis told me: “We believe that sometime after it was dropped off, it made its way into a major highway and was struck by a vehicle and as a result it died.”





~ Original story:


KLTV reports that the Henderson County District Attorney’s Office has released a statement advising that former Caney City Police Chief CHARLES GREGORY will be criminally charged in relation to an animal cruelty case.


According to KLTV, the charge stems from an incident that occurred on April 8, 2022, when GREGORY picked up a homeless dog in Trinidad, TX, drove him/her to Malakoff, TX, and then abandoned the furbaby.


KLTV further reports that the Henderson County DA’s Office sent a letter to attorneys in the Henderson County Defense Bar “notifying them the charge likely trigger a duty to disclose under Brady v. Maryland”.


Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that established that the prosecution must turn over all evidence that might exonerate the defendant (exculpatory evidence) to the defense.


The letters also states that GREGORY may have made false statements to the Trinidad Police Department.

BRANDON LEE MILLER arrested for abandoning his dog at a gas station in freezing temperatures

- Ohio, USA -


On Wednesday, June 8, authorities arrested 28-years-old BRANDON LEE MILLER (pictured) for abandoning his dog at a gas station in subfreezing temperatures.


The incident happened on March 12, when MILLER went to Fastrac gas station on Belmont Avenue in Liberty Township.


An employee told police that MILLER tied his dog to an air pump before going into the gas station to use the restroom.

According to the employee, when MILLER came out, he drove away leaving the dog behind exposed to severe temperatures. Police said it was 21 degrees at the time, but the wind chill made it feel like 7 degrees.


Employees let the furbaby into the gas station and alerted the police.

The furbaby was wearing a collar with a tag bearing the name Chino.

The Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County later took custody of the VOICELESS VICTIM.


On March 16, MILLER called police and claimed that Chino got loose. MILLER also told police he wanted Chino back as he is his emotional support animal.

According to MILLER’s version, he tied Chino outside so he could charge his phone inside the gas station and came out to find the dog was gone.


One wonders: “Why not leave Chino in the car with the heater on!?”


MILLER also told police he went into the nearby Denny’s to get out of the cold weather.


Police say they were on the scene for forty minutes when the dog was found, and no one came to claim him.


MILLER, of Youngstown, was arrested on one count of animal cruelty and booked into the Trumbull County Jail on a $2,500. He was released the following day after appearing in Girard Municipal Court before Judge Jeffrey D. Adler where he entered a not guilty plea.


Online court records show MILLER is due back in court on July 6, 2022, before Judge Jeffrey D. Adler.


The sources I consulted did not mention whether or not Chino was returned to MILLER so, before publishing this story I have sent out several emails to get that update.

I have emailed:

The Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County

Trumbull County Liberty Township Police Chief Toby Meloro

Police Secretary Marcy Orlando

Captain Ray Buhala

Detective Sergeant Michael Shuster

I have not heard back from the people listed above.

It is unclear whether Chino is still with the Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County or he has been returned to MILLER.
