Smith's nephew left the one-year-old animal at the home he shared with his aunt during the recent winter weather while he went away. When he returned, he could find no trace of the dog and assumed she had broken the chain where she was usually tied at the front porch of the house.
An environmental enforcement officer came across the dog's body under a mound of dried grass, stinking of kerosene. The dog had an orange extension cord wrapped tightly around its neck and its body was partially burned.
Authorities said bail was not immediately set for Smith, who remains jailed in Spartanburg County, South Carolina after her weekend arrest. Smith is charged with ill treatment of animals in general, torture, according to an arrest warrant. She faces 180 days to five years in prison if convicted.

I'm glad she wasn't babysitting. It's scary what religious delusions do to you.
..or any other kinds of delusions for that matter.
Who the heck is this other "L"? It's not me.
The dog had little chance of a happy life, anyway. Sounds like it was chained to the front porch for most of its life. Yes, religious delusions played a part. But I don't think these people sound like very good pet owners in any case.
Hi the real L.
The timing of the other L's postings had already made me suspicious.
I've removed their other comments from today.
Please let me know if this continues.
