I admit that I was haunted by Freckles story before
he was taken in by the Pasados Shelter. I liked the fact
that they pursued the case through the courts. The moron
who badly mistreated Freckles was finally held accountable
for his actions. I mean the guy committed blatant acts of
horrible cruelty in front of several wittnesses. He felt the dog
was HIS PROPERTY and he could act with impunity.WRONG!!!

The reason the church became involved was because he
could have lost custody of them for teaching them to abuse
the pup & b/c of animal abuse cases being tied to cases of
suspected child abuse.Many times when you find animal
abuse, there is also child abuse, of some form, also going
on in the family. The church stepped in supposedly to look
after his children.
