Charges for man who left his dog tied to a tree.

[Catherine]

It sounds like Hope has found people who really care for her and she will  be given the life she deserves. She went home with one of the people who cared for her after she was found. They would know what she had suffered and would want to do everything to make her life beautiful. I wish her a very long and happy life.

I agree with you both. The man who left Hope like that should never be allowed to have a pet again. 
I want him to do jail time too. It will send a strong message to anyone else who is mistreating an animal.
An animal abuser will not be respected by the other inmates. Even a short time in jail will give the man an idea of what his dog went through. What he did should not be without consequences.
