Update

Monday morning, Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth and Seattle cops took swift action and rescued this beautiful dog from an abusive situation inside a Capitol Hill apartment complex for homeless drug addicts. The resident who allegedly beat this dog is now in custody.

Who Will Be Held Accountable?

The dog appears to be in good health but is now being examined by a veterinarian.

Despite this happy ending, there are now calls for the King County Regional Homelessness Authority to be investigated for allowing this animal abuse to occur. Ultimately, who’s running this apartment complex and who’s going to be held accountable for this debacle?
