Kiya loved treats and dinner. (unknown/Justice for Puppy Doe Facebook page)
September 21, 2013
Her name was Kiya, and she used to have a loving home...
The heart-breaking story of "Puppy Doe" has gripped animal lovers across the country. And now her previous owner has released pictures of "Puppy Doe" to a Facebook page set up to help find the person, or persons, responsible for beating, stabbing, starving, and torturing the tiny pit bull puppy "medieval-style" for months, and then abandoning her to die alone.
According to the Facebook page, the puppy's previous owner sent them pictures of the puppy which cops named "Puppy Doe". The owner also told us her name.
"Puppy Doe's" name was "Kiya".
Her name was "Kiya" and, in her former life, she was obviously very much loved. The pictures show a happy, healthy puppy, surrounded with soft blankets and an abundance of toys. There are pictures of Kiya going for rides in a car, her face alight in doggy anticipation, and Kiya eagerly waiting to be fed.
The pictures show Kiya's happy life before her owner says she was forced to give her up, because of a breed discriminatory housing policy.
According to the information released by the Facebook page, the owner was forced to re-home Kiya because her landlord insisted she do so. The owner advertised on Craigslist, hoping to find a suitable owner. Although the details are not yet clear, it appears that Kiya may have been re-homed a second time from the person who responded to the Craigslist ad.
The owner (whose name has been withheld) is already working with police to track down Kiya's abuser and bring him, or her, to justice. In the meantime, she allegedly had this to say about Kiya's pictures:
"Instead of seeing my dog burned, stabbed, beaten, & starving please remember her as this. Her best friends were a chihuahua, & a minpin. She loved pig ears, tug of war, & playing fetch. She loved kids & was petrified of big dogs. vicious? Maybe if she attacked you with kisses. I will never forgive myself for what has happened to you. I hate BSL & how hard it is for these guys to find homes. I hate myself for thinking you were happy in your forever home while you were shuttled back on craigslist again. Im sorry I thought it was unfair to hide you in an apartment you werent allowed to be in I wish I could take it all back I love you kiya " (sic)
"Puppy Doe's" story shows the result of housing and municipal policies of breed-specific legislation ("BSL"). BSL tears families apart, forcing them to make decisions that can sometimes - as in the case of "Puppy Doe" - end in unimaginable sorrow and regret.
Kiya was described by the veterinarians who gave her painkillers and her last warm meal before putting her gently to sleep, as a "sweet and submissive" dog. She was a member of a family, who had never hurt anyone. In spite of her innocence, this young dog, barely more than a baby, was condemned to suffer horrifically at the hands of her unknown sadist, simply because she was a pit bull.
As this story unfolds, we will keep you updated on the latest developments. Meanwhile, please share "Puppy Doe's" story, and these pictures, as much as you can, so that those responsible can be found.
Several rewards have been offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of "Puppy Doe's" torturer.
Anyone with information about "Puppy Doe" is urged to call the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Law Enforcement Department at 617-226-5610, email them at cruelty@arlboston.org, or call Quincy Police Det. Thomas Pepdjonovich at 617-745-5774.
Meanwhile, remember this: "Puppy Doe" had a name. Her name, was "Kiya".
