Florida Judge Denies Motion To Dismiss Case of Man Charged With Killing Dog

Animal Advocates Turn Out In Force As They Continue The Fight For – JUSTICE FOR DEXTER

Another rally took place earlier today outside a Florida courthouse for the “Justice for Dexter” case. Domingo Rodriguez, 66, and his attorney left the court after Judge Keith Meyer denied their motion to dismiss the charges.

Dexter, a 4-year-old bulldog mix adopted by Rodriguez, was found dead in May, his head removed and discarded in a bag in mangroves. Evidence tied bags found in Rodriguez’s home to the one Dexter was discovered in, and investigators noted inconsistencies in his statements.

Rodriguez faces charges of animal cruelty and improper disposal of animal remains. With the dismissal motion denied, his next court date is set for December 5th. Animal advocates are already organizing another rally to demand justice.

Veteran AKC K9 Handler Caught on Camera Two Weekends In A Row Exhibiting Questionable Behavior

More shocking video has surfaced of veteran K-9 handler Paula Hall and her behavior toward a dog at an American Kennel Club event, a story first reported in September.

The AKC has since fined and suspended Hall, but this isn’t her first controversy. Just a week before the latest incident, Hall was caught on camera displaying similar troubling behavior in the ring.

The video, described as shocking and disturbing, shows Hall interacting with Sparty, her Doberman, in what some witnesses called “fighting in the ring.” Onlookers, including Janet Parker, reported hearing Hall slap the dog. Parker attempted to rally support for Sparty, but other witnesses refused to speak out, citing fear of retaliation.

Hall claimed her actions were a correction after Sparty growled. However, the AKC sustained the complaint, though the handling of the matter was criticized. Parker reported being pressured by club officials not to release details, raising questions about AKC protocol.

Dog enthusiasts say Hall’s behavior isn’t new, alleging she believes herself untouchable. The AKC emphasized they do not tolerate such behavior and hope not to encounter similar issues in the future.

Details on Hall’s suspension length and fine remain unclear, but she has the right to appeal. Attempts to contact Hall have gone unanswered.

BOLO: Pennsylvania Police Searching For Man Who Allegedly Dumped Milk Crate Full of Puppies

BOLO – A guy who identified himself as “Chris” called the East Pennsboro Township Police Department and said he found puppies at a local park. Not long after that, a milk crate full of puppies was abandoned on the steps of the police station.

The puppies were then taken to the The Davis Dog Farm—about 20 miles away—where they’re getting a lot of TLC. Local media reports that some of the puppies had upper respiratory infections, but they’re responding well to treatment and are happy and healthy.

The puppies will be up for adoption when they’re about 8 weeks old. In the meantime, if you have any information or know who this Chris is, cops want to talk with him. Their contact information is below. You can also find this story on our website—TheRealPaulMueller.com.

Former Missouri Cop Pleads Not Guilty in Death of K9 Partner

BREAKING NEWS in the case of a former Missouri police officer in connection with the death of his K-9 partner. Local media is reporting that former Savannah, Missouri, police sergeant Daniel Zeigler entered a not-guilty plea in Buchanan County court earlier today. On June 20, Zeigler not only left his K-9 partner, Horus, in their police vehicle, but he also turned off a backup system that would have alerted him and, at the very least, opened the windows of the vehicle. Zeigler reportedly discovered K-9 Horus 12 hours later in the hot car.

The backstory? Zeigler found Horus, called Chief David Vincent, and then Zeigler, the chief, and another individual took Horus from Zeigler’s house to city-owned land, dug a hole, and buried him. No one informed the community. Several days later, the chief announced the news, saying Horus had died due to complications from being left in a car after an overnight shift. Zeigler was put on paid administrative leave 11 days later.

A group of animal advocates fought to obtain information about Horus crossing the rainbow bridge and to learn the location of the burial. They then made a makeshift memorial. Later, an anonymous donor provided a headstone for Horus, and a service was held—all organized by the animal advocates. Without them, these tributes would not have happened. City officials have claimed that no coverup was intended and that they were simply in shock.

Zeigler’s next court date is set for November 5, for a trial setting, as Zeigler seeks a change of venue, aiming for a place where he believes he can receive an impartial jury—something he contends may not be possible in the Savannah area.
