Woman to police: 'There's a dog taped to the fridge'

[ccharles000]

BOULDER, Colo. — Police found an 8-month-old puppy — its feet, snout and tail bound in clear packing tape, a plastic bag and elastic hair ties — stuck to the side of a refrigerator in a Boulder home Tuesday morning, the apparent victim of a domestic dispute between its owner and his girlfriend.

Abby Toll, 20, was arrested on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after telling police she taped the puppy, a shiba inu named Rex, to the fridge because she was angry at her boyfriend for not getting rid of his pet after it had bitten her.

“There’s a dog taped to the fridge,” she reportedly told an officer who responded to a call about a domestic incident at the apartment in the 2900 block of East Aurora Avenue around 5 a.m. Tuesday. “I know this looks bad. We were going to get rid of him anyway. We usually don’t do this.”

The dog, which police said in a report appeared to be in severe pain after being released from its “tomb of tape,” was placed with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley for safekeeping.

CEO Lisa Pedersen said Tuesday that Rex was doing fine and the Humane Society would take care of him until the legal case is resolved. She said the dog may be placed for adoption at that point.

2. She should be taped to the bumper of a truck, and driven into a

brick wall a few times! BITCH!

17. your post makes my day. anyone by the way who takes on a shiba had better

know what they are doing. what a great, great dog. this cow is beyond help in my mind.

3. Oh, Abby, after reading the article

I hope prison is as kind to you as you were to that poor animal.

5. "...the result of an accidental scalding a few weeks earlier."

Glad they didn't have kids, too.

[blondeatlast]

34. They still could. Icky couples often stay together.

:scared:

4. Come over here with me, Abby Toll,

and I'll show you what a real bitch does when you piss her off. And I won't need tape to make my point, you fucking amateur.

Here's what a shiba inu looks like - it takes a very special kind of fuck to do anything to something this small and precious:

[petronius]

6. What a psycho! And the dog had an "old wound" - wonder how 'accidental'

that was...

[Fridays Child]

7. She's certainly a creative psychotic. Most animal abusers just ...

...throw their pets into oncoming traffic or club them to death. :grr: Is it even any use to ask what's wrong with people? :(

[Bluebear]

8. 'She said the dog may be placed for adoption at that point.' - uh, YEAH!

I don't expect it to go back to the villainous Abby Toll.

[TheWraith]

40. Well to be fair...

Her boyfriend, who's the dog's proper owner, had nothing to do with her sticking his dog to the fridge.

[and-justice-for-all]

10. What a fuckin bitch...

take your personal issues out on the dog because your too much of coward to deal with the person you have issues with.

Perhaps if she was not such a fuckin' bitch, the dog would not have bitten her to begin with, she obviously had to do something to get the dog to bite her.

[TahitiNut]

12. Please. That language is demeaning

... to dogs.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. LOL!! you know I was not talk about the doggy..nt

[TahitiNut]

11. Here's what a (healthy) Shiba Inu puppy looks like.

[Booster]

13. How could anyone look into those eyes and harm the puppy

behind them.:grr:

[and-justice-for-all]

15. That is one CUTE pup!!! adorable...!

[ccharles000]

16. aww

[Hekate]

18. Abby Troll, please do not ever have babies. Ever. >shudder<

[Raine]

19. I can't even think of anything

bad enough to call her!!!!!!! :mad: :nuke:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

31. I can't say it here

(what I am thinking) without having my post erased by the mods.

[Sewsojm]

20. What a Sick GD Bitch,

Abby, do the world a favor and kill yourself asap!!

[stuntcat]

21. any human who can be cruel to animals is a dangerous psycho

And dangerous psychos should all be eliminated. I'm not kidding, Human Rights MY ASS. There are 7,000,000,000 conceited monkeys trashing this planet, thinking they're IMAGES OF GOD :mad:

ANY even remotely psychotic acts should be punished with elimination.

:hi: :hi:

[blondeatlast]

36. You first--since your reply is devoid of any humanity whatsoever. nt

[stuntcat]

38. notice I did not say PAINFULLY eliminated :p

Oh The Humanity! :hurts: Let's get down to personal attacks, since that's what GD is clearly FOR lol

[varkam]

22. I don't know which gives me the heebie-jeebies more, the story or the replies.

:scared:

[comtec]

23. It's a puppy.. Puppies bite

that's what training is for.
jezus H cristsicle, the savior on a stick!
what a sick person.
To call her human would be pushing it.

[Berry Cool]

24. I'm not going to wish any hideous revenge on her, tempting as it is.

To do so would stoop me to her level.

May she be appropriately punished by the law, and get help, and fast...and may that puppy be placed in a LOVING home.

[cali]

25. Fuck that scummy bitch.

I hope she's shunned and spit on.

[TankLV]

27. oh no - that's TWO for today that I agree with you on!!!

what's WRONG with me?!!!!

[a la izquierda]

26. Both of my dogs were abused before I found them...

one was wandering the streets, the other living under an abandoned truck in the woods where hubby and I mountain bike. My 3 year old dog had no fur on him and was starving when my husband found him. A few more days out in the heat and he'd have been dead.

I do not suffer animal abusers. :grr:

[Marrah_G]

29. She needs some serious mental health help.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

30. There is a place in Hell

for this idiot "girlfriend" -

I feel so sorry for this poor animal.

I also hope there is a jail cell for her. One with lots of tape.

[varelse]

32. I hope this woman never has custody of any children

“When Officer (Richard) French got the first layer of tape off, I observed the dog’s paws were bound together with several black elastic hair ties,” one of the responding officers wrote. “There were also hair ties bound around the dog’s ears and snout. When the elastic hair ties were removed from the dog’s paws, there was a large indention where the bands were, and his paws were swollen. Rex just lay motionless, but breathing.”

"The officers also noticed a large patch of hair missing above the dog’s tail, which Toll told them was the result of an accidental scalding a few weeks earlier."

[LWolf]

33. .

I'm going to go hug my dog now.

I like animals better than too many of my own species.

[Vickers]

35. "after it had bitten her"

Evidently the puppy is an excellent judge of character.

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

37. Sometimes, I can't escape the human desire for revenge on the likes of this disgusting

excuse for DNA. Things like this can take the limits of one's humanity to the brink.

[BreweryYardRat]

39. Oh, for fuck's sake.

I don't understand how anyone could do this.

That woman is evil. One of my roomies and his girlfriend fight A LOT, and they're not particularly bright or well-adjusted -- but neither of them ever took their anger out on their dog.
