hello everyone, while it was not my intention to use this account again, I recently logged on and decided I should give an update. the original article will be linked down at the bottom.
For those who were wondering/concerned about my dog, she has made a recovery and is able to walk fully, however not properly due to her bone shifting place during the healing process. It did take her a while to trust me following the incident, but we got there eventually. I am currently working on saving to get her a surgery my vet believes would help her walk normally again. She isn’t in any pain, but she is getting older so I don’t want it to develop into pain as she ages. She has also gotten two little sisters, who helped her trust people again.
In addition, I filed a report with the police for animal cruelty due to the severity of my dogs injuries. Mary was charged with animal abuse in the form of unnecessary cruelty, she had no previous charges, so she got 90 days in juvie, with a year of probation for the severity. The morning following the incident I contacted a social worker. Mary was deemed violent and placed in a group home after a grueling two weeks. During this time my dog stayed with my now boyfriend, the one I went on the date with.
I have also since cut off most of my family. My sister (Mary’s mom), has since given up her rights of Mary. She is 6 months clean and her and I are closer than ever.
Also, many were concerned about my safety, to which I thank you very much. Once Mary left my care I moved out of my apartment (sleeping in my car for a few days lol) and found an apartment a few cities over. To no one’s surprise, the men she was around were much older than 17 or 18.

Good. Hope she rots.
Fuck what a nightmare also I do hope your sister stays clean. Sadly Mary is likely a lost cause.
Kids that think abusing an animal is okay will likely keep doing it.
Your poor dog. I don’t understand why people can just hurt animals. You are better off away from that ….(insert swear words). Please give your dog a hug from me 💗💗
> She is 6 months clean and her and I are closer than ever.
How do you think Mary got to be the way she is? I can only hope that Mary is so young she isn’t permanently damaged. Juvie and group homes in the US often make kids worse instead of better.
I’m not saying this because you did wrong making Mary face consequences, I’m saying you’re letting your sister off far too easily.
However

Why weren’t you vetting who she let into your home?

I really hope Mary lands in a foster home with good loving people who can help her turn her life around because your sister and whatever piece of filth knocked your sister up were such terrible parents they neglected Mary into a sociopath, if not abused her themselves. I’m not surprised she had no empathy for an animal and turned to an older guy for comfort. She never had a chance. Really, how can you be so close with your sister who gave up on a 13 year old? She gave birth to Mary and chose to raise her. She’s quitting now because its hard?
