Gwen Wilson stands with her animals, including her long time goat and her dog Sheamus. Gwen is facing possible charges of cruelty to animals after the SPCA seized one dog and 75 cats from her property in Floods (on January 13, 2006). The cats had all been either given to her by people who had found them dumped at their door or abandoned at Gwen's gate. “I love my animals, I love them all dearly and I know that I did get overwhelmed with the cats. But, looking back I don’t know what I could have done differently and now I have lost Dakota… unless I come up with the money” for the cats. “The only thing I can do now is reach out and ask for a little bit of help. I just want my dog back, “ says Gwen.
