The man was charged with FELONY animal cruelty, and faces years in prison. My God, I would walk through broken glass barefoot to save my dogs..

. WTH is wrong with people?! We wish we knew the answer to that, but we don't. Actually, maybe we don't wish we knew the answer to that.

That’s some positive news 👊🏽🇺🇸 It sure is, and it's much needed. I love that his name is Trooper now. I hope he's soon adopted into a good home.

We love that, too. Trooper deserves a home where he's happy and loved, and DeSantis and the Florida Highway Patrol deserve major kudos for making sure the bad guy is held accountable..
