Anyone with information on the location of Abad, and/or the dog in question is urged to Call Anaheim PD Criminal Investigation detectives at 714-321-3669.
Someone ought to beat the Sh*t out of that guy.
If convicted that man should never own or have in his control another animal of any kind and I don’t believe he should be on bail until he tells where the dog is or where he left it
I agree. He doesn’t deserve anything but a good ass beating and being kicked like he did that poor dog.
Real men don’t beat up innocent animals. This idiot needs to learn a lesson. What a horrible human being, if he can even be called that.
