Perhaps it was a blessing? What was the point of this dog's life? It spent over ten years chained to a dog house in the Lower Mainland. It was reported many times to the SPCA. Last night some kind hearted person went to rescue it at last...and found it dead, curled up in its flimsy dog house, frozen solid.

So Mr Daniell, CEO and Manager of Cruelty Investigations, and Rick Sargent, President of the BC SPCA....when are you going to keep your word to stop this?

Or was your boast, "The message is clear - if you are inflicting cruelty to animals, including psychological and emotional abuse, you will be charged", just words, words meant to save the SPCA's butt, not to save any suffering dogs?
