Monster Attempts To Kill Dog, But In A Shocking Twist Of Fate, Finds A Forever Home

We want to warn you, what you are about to read might make you angry inside, but we PROMISE there is a happy ending that will turn your anger into happiness very quickly. Diamond Owens is NOT a nice person, she is someone who committed an unspeakable act, BUT karma was there to swiftly serve her with a healthy dose of justice.

After she claims her dog “had to go” for “biting her boyfriend several times,” Diamond disposed of the dog like a piece of trash–IN THE DUMPSTER–just outside of her apartment complex in Copley, Ohio. But that’s not before she tried to break it’s neck to kill it. In her mind the dog needed to be euthanized, but she “didn’t have the money to do it” so she did something only a monster could do.

BUT, what she didn’t know, the tiny less than one year old Chihuahua was still breathing, clinging onto life when a maintenance worker discovered her. She was taken to a local animal hospital to receive veterinary care, and this is when one police officer, Chris Santimarino, instantly fell in love with this sweet little dog who looked like she’d never even hurt a fly.

“She’s smiling, she does that, and now… she’s a part of our family.”

Just as the old saying goes, one person’s “trash” may be another one’s treasure. Owens received 180 days in jail, and will have felony animal abuse charges on her permanent record for the rest of her life. (But if you ask me, that’s simply not enough for what she’s done!!)

We are SO THANKFUL that little Honey is getting to spread her sweetness in a loving home, just like she deserves. And as you can see, a dog’s gentle and kind spirit will never be broken–no matter what!!
