Army vet tied dog to tree, shot it 5 times at close range
New York Post ^ | 26 April 2017 | Chris Perez

Posted on 04/26/2017 4:39:30 PM PDT by BlackVeil

An Army veteran was thrown behind bars Tuesday for allegedly tying her PTSD therapy dog to a tree and shooting him five times at close range — killing the poor pup for no apparent reason while a soldier filmed it.

...

Court documents obtained by the Fayetteville Observer describe how she teamed up with her boyfriend, Jarren Heng, 25, for the seemingly random killing earlier this month.

The couple allegedly led the white and gray pit bull to a wooded area before tying him to a tree and taking his life. ... ultimately was shot five times with a rifle as Rollins and Heng, who is still enlisted and stationed at Fort Bragg, took turns filming him.

“Let me hit him once,” Heng can be heard saying in the video.

Throughout the disturbing clip, he and Rollins both laugh and joke about the dog’s brutal death ...

This crime indicates sadism. People like this often move between offenses against animals, and those against humans. Rather than ‘killing the enemy’, they commit war crimes and rouse up long term resentment.

If it had been a Labrador, instead, all would clamoring for the summary execution of those two demon skinwalkers, no matter that the sense of betrayal, pain and terror of one dog is equal to every other.

The hypocrisy...it burns.

/some animals are more equal than others

People wonder why I am not posting much, anymore.

Surely, they jest.

As a parting comment, I would like to add, all humans are good humans...until that one day they aren’t.

Perhaps we should ban or pre-emptively kill them all and let God sort them out.

Nothing on earth will trust you more than your dog does.

Betraying that trust is a sin of great magnitude.

They are much like innocent children, in that sense.

Anyone who would harm a child or dog is the worst that wretched humanity has to offer.

Anyone who applauds or attempts to justify this sadism, is beneath contempt and a passive partaker in the killing.

Bizarrely, the word “machete” keeps leaping to mind.

Take that as you will.

“Pit bulls were bred to kill”

They were bred to gran and hold livestock in the event that said livestock was about to stomp or gore their owner to death.

Reality is your friend.

The hilarious irony is that the real Diogenes was a cynic, the root word of which means “dog”.

Some are unworthy of their user names.

And babies with souls are killed everyday by abortionists.

At least dogs don’t have souls.

I feel sorrow for you with such a burden of empathy. It must be extremely difficult to bear.

Life is full of much more cruelty than you even seem able to imagine.

Do you realize that millions of dogs are killed, and must be killed, in the U.S. every year? If they were not killed, they would create far worse problems than their killing creates.

You are projecting emotions and facts that we do not know. There may have been very good reasons to kill this dog. We were not there.

People bond with dogs. That makes people project onto dogs and think emotionally instead of rationally.

I do not like to kill dogs, but, in many cases, it must be done.

Killing a dog quickly and humanely is not sadism. Not even close.

I have NO sympathy for the veteran.

Shoot him right in the head point blank.

After what he's done to the dog I would enjoy watching his head explode from a hollow point at close range.

What, exactly did he do to the dog other than kill it?

Really, I want to know what you think the shooter or shooters did other than kill the dog. Is there evidence that they tortured It?

I have not seen it or read it anywhere.

I am open to being corrected.

“Life is full of much more cruelty than you even seem able to imagine.”

Those who know me, probably just laughed bitterly, en masse, at your spectacularly incorrect theory.

I wish I was as oblivious to brutality and reality as you incorrectly assume.

I can think of not one single reason to tie up a healthy dog and execute it, while laughing at its terror and misery.

It’s disturbing, in the extreme, that you seem determined to justify your comments with wild speculations, crafted specifically for that self-justification.

I will willing and joyfully bear my so-called “burden of empathy”, for the remainder of my life, as it is wildly preferable to what you apparently “feel”.

These two will probably be punished for the public killing of a pet and for embarrassing the Army. As terrible and senseless as this incident was, I am thankful that it did not happen to a human being.

Posting the video was a stupid thing for them to do. But if they hadn’t, they might never receive the sort of help they really need. And then we might be reading about something much worse.

I hope two well-adjusted people can be reclaimed from this one day. If they have a conscience, it will always haunt them and remind them to do right by others, people and animals alike.

I guess the got their rocks off killing the dog, according to the report anyhow. Added to that they recorded themselves doing it, and then posted it on social media. What reason could they possibly have to do that, do they give any explanation?

Well, well, well....the truth will out.

The poor healthy dog was publicly executed for sadistic revenge.

Where's your "real man", now?

The truth is out on FB.

The dog belonged to her *husband*, and she and her partner in adultery did this and posted it to torture the soon-be-ex-husband.

Let’s hear all the excuses, now.

What does being a vet have to do with any of this?

They could state their names without referring to her as an Army vet.

I believe they called her a vet to bad mouth veterans in general.

Supposedly, she was a veteran suffering from PTSD, and the dog was her "therapy dog".

But the actual story is much more complicated:

The Story, from Huey’s Owner Matt Dyer
JUSTICE FOR HUEY·WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2017
The stories all over the internet call the dog Cam, but his actual name is Huey. He was re-named Camboui by Matt Dyer’s estranged wife Marinna Rollins, because “it rhymed with Huey.” She called him Cam for short. This is not his name and this article will not be calling him by the name the woman who killed him gave him, without permission of his actual owner.
Matt Dyer and his estranged wife Marinna Rollins separated in September of 2015. At the time, they had 2 cats together. Because they were a reminder of his wife and failed marriage, he returned the cats to the woman they got them from, who accepted them back and agreed to find them a home together, as they were attached to each other. He then looked into finding his own pet, as a companion during his separation that he could start over fresh with. Enter Huey, a 2 year old male pitbull who had been abandoned by his former owner. On January 7, 2016 he adopted Huey with his friends Bridget Carter and Josh Carlson. 12 days after getting Huey, he got orders to Korea. Bridget could not take Huey, and Josh was a manager at a Hibachi restaurant and moved into an apartment rented to him by his employer, where he could not have pets.
Matt’s dad went into the hospital that same month, and his estranged wife Marinna reached out to him about it. They began talking and being friendly towards each other again. At that point, Matt had arranged for a friend in Maine to take Huey. The friend however had a dog already, and there was concern that Huey would not get along with the friend’s dog. He was very friendly and loving with people, loved children, but was skittish with other animals. Marinna quickly took to Huey, and asked if she could watch him while Matt was in Korea. Thinking it would be a good thing for Marinna as she had been having having emotional issues and diagnosed with PTSD, he agreed.
His orders to Korea were unaccompanied orders, meaning if he wanted to bring Huey, he had to also bring his estranged wife and agree to 2 years, “accompanied.” At the time they were separated and Marinna was dating another man named Hunter. So an accompanied 2 year tour was not feasible. Hunter adored Huey and Matt felt that he was in good hands while deployed. He left in March of 2016 for Korea, 2 months after adopting Huey.
Initially, Marinna sent him lots of updates on Huey and appeared to be taking very good care of him with the help of her boyfriend Hunter. During the day, a friend of Matt’s named Duane would take him out for potty breaks and walks while Marinna was at work.
In September of 2016, Marinna informed Matt that she changed Huey’s name and his microchip, and that she got a doctor’s note saying he was an ESA (Emotional Support Dog), allegedly because she otherwise could not have a dog at her apartment. Matt told her that he was not her dog, that he did not give him to her, and that he expected his dog back when he returned from Korea as she was only supposed to be watching him while he was overseas.
Marinna was discharged from the military in December of 2016 and according to Matt, fell into drinking heavily and drugs. She met Jarren Heng, her co-accomplice in the murder of Huey, when he delivered pizza to her house one drunken night in December. She broke up with her boyfriend who had been supportive of her and Huey, and began seeing Jarren. Jarren quickly moved in with Marinna. He was hostile to Huey, allegedly hated the dog and wouldn’t let him out of his cage when friends visited.
Matt returned from Korea on March 1st and took 23 days of leave to Maine, where he is originally from. In mid March, a personal tragedy with a close friend extended Matt’s leave another 6 days. On March 29, he returned to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He couch surfed while finding an apartment. He reached out to Marinna, who refused to return the dog to him, saying she was attached to him and wanted to keep him. He found a place to live and moved in. Allegedly Jarren Heng would not allow Matt to talk to Marinna or see his dog. 2 weeks ago, he met with Marinna to take her on base to modify her TriCare health care (As they were still married), and he inquired as to how Huey was doing. Marinna then said that they were sick of him, that Jarren hates him, and asked if he wants him back. Matt asked her why she didn’t say this when he moved back, as he wanted him but was now in a place that didn’t allow dogs. Matt began asking friends if they could take the dog, but was unable to find anyone who could. Sunday, April 16 he asked her if she had found a place for him, as he saw a facebook post by Marinna stating that they had spent their last day with him and had “found him a better place.” She told him she found a “center” that accepted him.
On Monday, April 24 around noon, Marinna called Matt. She was inebriated and asked if he could pick her up and take her to jail as there was a warrant out for her. She told him that she had got in a fight. Matt agrees and goes to Marinna’s apartment, where she is extremely drunk. He goes to the bathroom, and while there he hears Marinna on the phone with Jarren. He can make out that they’re talking about Huey. He returns from the bathroom and asks if something happened with Huey, and she responds yes and then proceeds to tell him in graphic detail what actually happened to Huey. We will not go into it, as it can be seen from the video widely available. According to Matt, she became hysterical and violent, falling into a table, and then grabbing a chair and throwing it at the wall. He alleges that she took a razor and tried to cut herself. She then ran out of the house and to a neighbors. Matt says that he gave chase, and caught up to her and tried to calm her down. He mouthed to a passerby who watched the incident to call 911. He then was able to get her to return to her house, where the police showed up and took her to the hospital.
She was arrested on Tuesday for the warrant for Huey’s death.
There has been much speculation that Matt Dyer was neglectful in leaving his dog with Marinna, but as anyone former military (myself included) can attest, these issues are common and happen on a moments notice when orders come through. At the time, Marinna was still active duty and had not begun her downward spiral with drugs and alcohol and was in a stable relationship. She kept Matt’s dog from him when he returned, and rather than take him to a shelter, which she alleged she had done, she plotted with Jarren to kill him. Matt and Josh Carlson both allege that Huey was in good health, contrary to the claims that he was sick and they were putting him out of his misery. The dog’s remains have not been found yet and an autopsy will show the truth in this allegation.
RIP Huey, you were a good boy and you did not deserve this.

Sorry for the format nightmare.

Too tired to correct it.

It was a spite killing and she is an evil, soulless bitch.

Also, she was a graphic designer who *never* saw one single second of “battle” and was never deployed.

Art gave her PTSD?

I think not.

She is simply a demon skinwalker.

Read the real story that is finally coming out and you will consider that far too kind, for either of them.
