Serial Killer in training.
I just adopted a sweet little dog about 10 pounds from southern Colorado that was in a shelter. The vet was spaying her and she literally died several times during the surgery. Upon further investigation they found her diaphragm was ruptured due to a blunt kick in the side. Some of her stomach organs were into her lung space. The shelter raised some money for the repair surgery which was done by the Animal Planet vet in Denver for a discounted price. Twenty four staples in her stomach later we brought her home. Sweet dog but very frightened especially of short men. The shelter speculates it may have been an illegal down there that did it. They told me they dump a lot of animals.
People who abuse animals abuse people, too.
