Caught On Camera: California Animal Control Officer In The Hot Seat For Dragging Dog

Caught on camera and for all the wrong reasons. Now, stay with me here because I’ve confirmed a lot of information today.

Kern County, California. The video is now making the rounds. Here’s the info. That’s Kern County Animal Control Officer Tipton—yes, that name is confirmed—caught on camera reportedly beating and dragging the 2-year-old, 60-pound mixed breed dog. Officer Tipton went out on a call for a stray and, at one point, tranquilized the dog. That’s when you see him reportedly dragging her back to the truck. The Kern County Animal Services Director told me there’s definitely no reason to do what the ACO is seen doing. The vet later examined the dog, and thankfully, no injuries were found. They also scanned the dog for a chip, but no luck. She was wearing a collar, but the director tells me they don’t expect anyone to reclaim her. Instead, he hopes a 501(c)(3) rescue steps in, and there’s already been some interest.

As for Officer Tipton, he is off until Monday. When he returns, the 4-year veteran will be questioned. After that interview, a decision will be made about his next steps. Once a decision is made, the Animal Services Commission will hear any appeals. An update will be provided early next week.

Florida Troopers Rescue Dog Tied to Fence In Rising Waters On Tampa Road

A pit bull was rescued this morning by the Florida Highway Patrol near Interstate 75 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Tampa after being found tied to a fence in rising floodwaters.
I SAY – DO NOT – I REPEAT – DO NOT leave your animals TIED to ANYTHING or LEAVE THEM BEHIND.

This poor dog would have DROWNED. Right now, they’re focusing on the last of the evacuations. Animals CAN’T run from the storm. Humans CAN.

Working on finding out where this baby was taken to! SHAME ON WHOEVER DID THIS!

So-Called Rainbow Bridge Scams After Real Life Rainbow Bridge in Lake Lure, NC is Destroyed

SO-CALLED RAINBOW BRIDGE SCAMS? The Rainbow Bridge. Not the one up there but the one destroyed in Lake Lure, North Carolina. And what’s worse? Possible scammers could be hard at work trying to get money out of it.

This is the cherished spot at the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge now—essentially gone. The name we know all too well is tied to a special section of the bridge honoring our four-legged family members and friends. Countless leashes, countless collars, and tags—remembering our four-legged family members who had crossed the other Rainbow Bridge.

But now? This. The official Lake Lure Flowering Bridge Facebook page issues a warning. So-called fundraisers and new Facebook sites? All of it unauthorized by them, they say, and could possibly be scams. Finally, they clarified that the only way to donate to the Flowering Bridge is through their official website. They’ll post more information on their Facebook page.

Bottom line? Even at times like these, scammers are out there. So if you want to help, get in touch with the official Lake Lure Flowering Bridge folks. If you have any information on scams, please let me know. I can be reached at @therealpaulmueller on all social media platforms.
