Here's what we know: The owner of the dog abandoned in a Dumpster in Red Lion was arrested Saturday and re-arrested Monday on animal cruelty charges. What we don't know is who put 3 1/2-year-old Koko, with all of her physical problems, in the Dumpster and, more importantly, why.
SPCA Executive Director John E. Caldwell told News Journal reporter Terri Sanginiti that a tip led to Cheryl Jackson, 57, of Bear. (That shows you what a $1,000 reward from Diane Mayer of Happy Dog Healthy Dog will do to shake loose information.) Jackson told officials three different stories of what happened to the female Chow, who was suffering severe hair loss, a severe eye and an ear infection, flea infestation, tapeworms and malnourishment when she was found, Caldwell said. He said none of the version was true.
How did it get to that point? What was done to Koko is beyond comprehension. How could someone dump any dog, let alone one that was that sick? Drop the animal off at a pet shelter, take it to a vet's office, leave it with a neighbor. Just give it a fighting chance. Koko isn't garbage and she didn't deserve to be treated that way. Thank goodness she's in caring hands now.

how did it get to that point? Because it is obvious that the women who owned the dogs is scum. She looks like she can't even take care of herself let alone animals. I hope she is punishjed to the fullest extent of the law.
