Loveland, Colo.—A Loveland dog trainer has
been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after a witness told
authorities that a dog was severely beaten. Ryan Matthews was arrested Saturday and posted a $500 cash bond. According to KMGH-TV ( http://bit.ly/ppdKaV),
Larimer County Humane Society investigators obtained a surveillance
video taken inside the kennel that supported allegations of the beating.
Matthews denied that he ever hit or kicked dogs during training. A witness said Matthews slammed the dog's muzzled nose into a wall, causing a hole and leaving blood on the carpet. ——— Information from: KMGH-TV, http://www.thedenverchannel.com |
