“The video is hard to watch. You’re going to have a gut reaction,” Precinct 3 Constable Wayne Thompson stated. “It’s not going to be nice, it’s disturbing.”
Petitions are circulating to remove the dog from the child’s home and the dog, a female named Bella, has been examined by two different veterinarians. Both say she shows no signs of abuse but the video says otherwise.

“This boy was very remorseful, he was crying when our investigator was over there,” Thompson shared.”The dog was still showing affection for him and was sitting on his lap.”
The Fort Bend County District Attorney’s office is reviewing the case but Thompson’s investigation resulted in no signs of animal cruelty.
