From BC SPCA AnimalSense magazine, Spring 2004: Backyard Prisoners, page 9:

"When Bonnie's guardians ignored orders to provide her with proper exercise and social interaction, the SPCA took custody of the distressed dog...."

Our information is that Bonnie was immediately surrendered by the owner, Yin Song Su. "Took custody", the term the SPCA chose to use, is strictly accurate but not honest. It gives the impression that the SPCA was heroic and that it actually seized Bonnie for psychological distress. It did not seize Bonnie at all, for anything, not for the filth, or the isolation. Bonnie was handed over without a fight. And Yin Song Su was only charged with physical neglect, not psychological distress, as this article misleads readers into believing.

Bonnie suffered for six long, dark, lonely years in her pen. AAS's unfailing experience of ten years of listening to reports of dog neglect, is that the SPCA has been told, over and over, for many years. We don't believe for one minute that this time was the first time that the SPCA had been told about Bonnie or had seen her.

This is where Bonnie endured, unhelped, for six years.....
