Today, my abuser and the man who killed both of my dogs, pleaded guilty to the animal cruelty (and killing) of my dog Kirby on June 23, 2020.

I was allowed to deliver a statement, and I did.

When I delivered my statement, I had the full attention of everyone in the courtroom. The judge listened intently to every word I said. And when I was done, my abuser was admonished for the horrific things he has done.

This is my statement.
