Advice Requested

Friend already has - I got more information regarding the situation today - now that things have settled down a bit - and heads are a bit clearer.

1. Dog owner was at work when this happened.
2. EvilBastard had a history (unknown to Dog Owner _or_ person who referred Dog Owner to the home as a temporary place of residence) as a child of cruelty to animals
3. Dog Owner took dog to Texas Vet immediately after incident
4. Texas vet filed a cruelty investigation report with SPCA, which started an investigation immediately.
5. Dog Owner was not comfortable returning to the home where the incident happened - (Dog was in the care of the vet). Asked the vet if the dog would be safe travelling back to PA - to be put under immediate vetrinary care as soon as the dog arrived in PA - Vet said yes - gave Dog Owner a list of treatment recommendations, the x-rays, everything else that PA Vet may need in order to care for the animal, along with pain relievers and antibiotics for the animal.
6. Dog Owner arrived in PA - and immediately went to the family vet - who also filed a cruelty report with the SPCA.

Last we've heard the police are involved, and Evil Bastard is being questioned - more than one person has come forward stating they witnessed the abuse - which apparently took place in a garage with the door up. (He wasn't very concerned about hiding it). Evil Bastard's excuse for what he did? The dog had gas.....and he couldn't stand the smell.

Yes, dog farts caused this asshole to be so cruel to an innocent animal. I'm NOT kidding - although I really wish I was.

Whoa. There is a well-documented probability that children who torture animals grow up to become psychopaths/serial killers/sociopaths. As awful as this is, it might be a blessing in disguise if it gets and keeps this guy off the street.

Or away from kids.
