Dog in a bag

Authorities say a Toledo man made a crucial mistake when he allegedly tried to abandon a litter of puppies by stuffing them into a canvas suitcase and leaving them behind a city business.

He left the luggage tag with his contact information attached to the bag, officials said.

Gene Boros, a Toledo Area Humane Society cruelty officer, filed two counts of abandonment Tuesday against Howard Davis of East Hudson Street for leaving the bag and the puppies next to a trash bin behind 3442 Stickney Ave.

The bag of six English bulldog puppies — three males and three females — along with their mother was picked up April 4 by the Lucas County Dog Warden’s office.

The business is about a quarter mile from the home of Mr. Davis, who was in the process of moving when he was questioned at his home by Officer Boros last week.

Mr. Davis could not be reached for comment.

By time the dog warden’s personnel arrived on Stickney, passers-by had found the dogs and unzipped the bag to give them some air, said Julie Lyle, Lucas County dog warden. “But they said they had found the bag zipped with the mother dog standing next to it,” Ms. Lyle said.

The dog and puppies were transferred to the Humane Society on Thursday because the dog warden doesn’t handle abandonment cases, Ms. Lyle said.

“There are witnesses who said that the female is indeed Mr. Davis’ dog and that he had been trying to sell puppies,” said John Dinon, executive director of the Toledo Area Humane Society.

Mr. Davis said he had not abandoned the dogs and had given them to someone in Michigan, Mr. Dinon said.

Mr. Davis was to be charged with two counts — one for the adult dog and the other for the puppies — of either first-degree or second-degree misdemeanor abandonment.

It was unclear Tuesday the level of offenses for which Mr. Davis would be charged.

First-degree misdemeanor abandonment carries a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine; second-degree misdemeanors carry up to 90 days in jail and a $750 maximum fine.

Mr. Davis will be issued a citation and given a court date, but he was not arrested, said Mr. Dinon.

The mother, now named Maddie, and the pups are doing well at the Humane Society.

They will be going to a foster home by the end of the week. They won’t be available for adoption for at least four weeks, officials said, but because they are part of a cruelty case, that time might be extended.

Those crimes listed carry much stiffer penalties in my book. What an ass hole. I'll foster those dogs.

:shock: :evil:

F-heads who would do these sorts of things make me so angry. I agree with monkeewrench that penalties for these types of abuse cases against helpless animals are not nearly strong enough for such d-bags.

I can't believe someone would do such a horrible thing.... so glad the dogs are ok.

I'd like to bash this fucker's head in with a mallet.

I won't say what I would like to do to Mr. Davis...it's not very nice.

Glad the dogs are ok, but as it has been said before, there need to be stiffer penalties for cases like this. Aren't there studies that say when children are cruel to animals, they have higher instances of being murderers?

I truly hope the bastard fries in hell. He doesn't deserve to have an animal. I will never freaking understand why people don't spay or neuter their pets, and I hate stories like this with a passion (not to mention the lowlife losers who do it).

oh, and I would like to add: f*cking piece of shit.

PureandEasy

I'm not a dog person, but they are cute as a button.

I don't understand how anyone can be so cruel.

dr0ptheleash

How could anyone do that? Those doggies are so cute :( It surely cannot be that impossible to make arrangements for them, anything is better than leaving them in a bag on a bus.

Forget fines or jail, maybe someone should put him in a closed bag with his mother beside it. See how they like it. :(

Makes me sick

Odd. For some reason I'm slightly turned on. :?


In all seriousness, these kinds of stories make me sick.

I think this ratfuck should be locked in a bag and left somewhere. Leave it up to chance if someone rescues him or not. Let the punishment fit the crime I say.
