Cowards Who Prey on Animals

Bite Your Tongue, Bitch...


A South Carolina man and total piece of shit, ^ William Leonard Dodson - 41, has been arrested on animal cruelty charges after police said he taped the mouth of his dog shut with electrical tape. He was was out on bond for guns and drug charges at the time of his arrest and is now being held on $50,000 bail.

The dog, a 15-month-old chocolate Staffordshire named Caitlyn (pictured above), was found last week by neighbors.

Caitlyn was found with her muzzle taped shut; she'd been left with her tongue stuck between her teeth for as long as two days, according to the Charleston Animal Society (they're paying for Caitlyn's treatment). The dog had last been seen on Memorial Day by neighbors, and turned up early last Wednesday morning on the Good Samaritan’s doorstep, the animal society said.

“The tape was so tight that Caitlyn’s tongue was caught between her teeth, stopping blood flow to her tongue,” the animal society said in a Facebook post.

“Caitlyn is in a lot of pain, her condition is critical, and her prognosis is guarded,” said Charleston Animal Society Senior Director of Veterinary Care, Dr. Lucy Fuller, after the dog was found. “A large part of her tongue may need to be removed surgically if the tissue dies from the lack of blood flow. She may be severely disfigured, or the large amount of dead tissue may cause life-threatening complications.”

“This is the most malicious case of animal abuse I have seen in my entire career,” said Aldwin Roman, the Charleston Animal Society’s Director of Anti-Cruelty & Outreach, in a statement. “to leave this dog in pain, unable to eat or drink and to now leave her in the position where her life is at stake because she may lose her tongue is heartbreaking.”

Since the story spread, Caitlyn has made good progress following her surgery and remains in recovery at the Animal Society.
