An arrest has finally been made in the case of two abandoned dogs who were discovered near the Gardner Seveney Sports Complex, in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, on Thanksgiving morning. The authorities have charged 29-year-old Joneya Mack with unnecessary cruelty to an animal and abandonment of an animal; a felony and misdemeanor count for each charge, reports WPRI News.

    dressing up doesn’t make one a winner, but doing that to innocent dogs sure makes one a loser
