ADAM HOWARD facing charges after his dog jumped out of his moving truck and was fatally hit by a car

- Vermont, USA -


On November 29, 2024, Vermont State Police received several calls about a dog who had jumped out of the bed of a moving pickup truck on Interstate 89, Hartford.


In a press release, police identified the furvictim as a 5-year-old German Shepherd named Ace and the driver of the pickup truck as 33-year-old ADAM HOWARD, of Leicester, N.C..


Police said that Ace “was tethered in a way that was detrimental to his welfare.” Ace was improperly leashed in the bed of the pickup truck and slipped out his collar.

The furvictim jumped out of the truck onto the highway and traffic came to a near standstill as motorists attempted to rescue him. Ace was struck by a vehicle in the southbound lane.


While all this was happening, HOWARD kept driving.


A Good Samaritan took Ace to Small Animal Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (SAVES) in Lebanon, N.H. where he sadly succumbed to his injuries.


With the description of HOWARD’s truck, police reached out to the community for information in the hope of finding him, and eventually Troopers were able to make contact.

HOWARD claimed that he was unaware that Ace had jumped out.


HOWARD was charged with animal cruelty and disorderly conduct. He was cited to appear in Windsor County Superior Court in Woodstock on December 31, 2024, to face the charges.

GABRIELA BARRERA arrested for taping several dogs' snouts shut

- California, USA -


The Irvine Police Department said that on Saturday, May 27, 2023, it received a call from a concerned citizen about dogs whimpering on the patio of a home on Eastshore.


In a news release, IPD said that the caller told police they saw “multiple dogs with their snouts taped closed.”


When IPD Animal Services Officers responded to the scene, they found “one dog with masking tape wrapped around its snout while it was on the outside patio. They also heard whimpering from the same area and were concerned there were other dogs in the same condition.”


21-years-old GABRIELA BARRERA (pictured) arrived while officers were on the scene investigating the incident. According to police, BARRERA “admitted to taping the dogs’ snouts closed to keep them from barking and nipping at the other dogs.”


The release goes on to say that a consent search of the property led to the discovery of a total of seven dogs who appeared to be “Husky or Husky/German Shepherd mixed breed.”

Police said officers found a female puppy, a male puppy, three adult females, and two adult males. Three of the Voiceless Victims with their snouts taped closed were BARRERA’s.


Police estimated that the tape had been around the furvictims’ snouts for over two hours. Officers also found contractor grade masking tape consistent with the one used to tape the poor souls.


BARRERA was arrested on May 30, 2023, and transported to Orange County Jail on three counts of felony animal cruelty.

Online arrest records show that she was released the following date on zero bail!

According to online records, BARRERA’s occupation is a “caregiver.”

Police said all seven furbabies were removed from the property, examined by a veterinarian, “and appear to be in otherwise good condition.”

Police advised that the investigation is ongoing and the dogs will be held until the case is adjudicated.


If you have any other information related to this incident, please contact Animal Services Officer Al Gonzalez at (949) - 724 - 7087. Thank you!


I wonder if as a little girl, BARRERA used to have her mouth taped shut because her mother wanted to stop her from crying….

Officers responded to a property on Wade Road to investigate and upon arrival they found a male German Shepherd in distress, chained and without access to food.

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Melissa Tabb at Cuthbert Critter Clinic, diagnosed Blakely as being severely dehydrated, malnourished, and infested with parasites.


Dr. Tabb told WDHN: “He is going to need some physical therapy and all to build the muscles back. He is going to need some time on you know a well-balanced nutrition just to build his body back.”


Blakely is now in the care of Blakely Animal Clinic in Early County and as Dr. Tabb said: “Still has a long way to go on treatment before he is ready to be up for adoption.”


Police arrested 56-years-old DANIEL GLENN JR. (pictured) and booked him into the Early County Jail for cruelty to animals.
