Perkins TWP, Ohio – On May 17, an eight-month-old puppy was brutally stabbed for having an accident in her owner’s house. Despite a horrific, gaping head wound, the puppy, dubbed Ivy by the Friendship Animal Protective League, survived.

In a public release, the animal welfare agency said:
On Saturday, May 17th, we received a frantic, early morning call from the staff of Northview Animal Clinic. Someone brought in a dog to the emergency clinic bleeding from a large gaping wound in her face. The owner of the dog had allegedly inflicted the wounds onto the 8 month-old dog in the face after she had an accident in the house. Our humane team responded to Animal Clinic Northview. The owner signed the dog over to Friendship APL humane officers who authorized the staff at Northview to begin life-saving surgery to give the pup a fighting chance.
Adding:
Thanks to the heroic care of the team at Animal Clinic Northview, the diligence of our humane team, and the decisive action of the Perkins Police Department – this sweet girl will have a second chance and the owner will face justice for this truly awful case of brutal abuse.
The person accused of this horrific act of cruelty has been identified and charged. The organization said
Our humane team presented the Perkins Police Department in Erie County with the evidence on Saturday. On Monday morning, Perkins PD arrested the suspect, Terry Thomas on felony charges of animal cruelty.
Terry Thomas, 41, has a prior animal cruelty charge dating back to 2022, reports WABI News. Thomas was booked into the Erie County Jail on one count of cruelty to animals, a fifth-degree felony; he is scheduled to appear in court on May 29.

I can’t even believe the legal system let this sack of pus loose to do this. I will be making a trip to see this ignorant, dumb ass, MF real soon.
No community service, no suspended sentence, no “poor me ,I’m disadvantaged”, Straight time of two years at least; got a job ?..find another one when you are released from jail !
It’s a PUPPY!!! Puppies make mistakes!!! Maybe this worthless piece of shit was THE mistake!!! FUCKIN DRUG ADDICT he looks like. He probably NEVER even took care of his puppy NOR did he probably never the puppy out to go to the bathroom and he wonders WHY did my puppy pee in the house! FUCKIN PIECE OF SHIT STABBED HER IN THE FACE!!???
Margo L, I will gladly join you! This isn’t a human, but a monster. I feel sorry for the animals of the world having to share the planet with the human race. This creep deserves the same treatment as that innocent pup was subjected to. God bless that little one.
Thank you to all who helped and made the decision to save her so that she has the opportunity to be loved like she deserves.
Give me 5 minutes; just 5 minutes alone in a room with this fucking little pissant. What a fucking piece of shit. How much do you want to bet that he hadn’t let Ivy out to go to the bathroom for over 24 hours (or even more); so of course the poor thing had an accident in the house. To top it all off, this Human Filth has priors for animal cruelty. HOW THE FUCK WAS HE ALLOWED TO HAVE ANOTHER DOG??? He is now a repeat offender and MUST serve prison time.
Who stabs an 8 month old pup, seriously, who does that? And in the face, so badly that it split right open? Poor Ivy is lucky to have survived. DO NOT LET THAT MAGGOT NEAR ANOTHER ANIMAL – EVER!!!
I am officially offering my services to carry out some vigilante justice on behalf of baby Ivy.
Exactly right Sister Margo.
Just five minutes with this ‘Ace of Spades’ cunt is all that I would need. Because for starters, the bastard would not see me coming! And I doubt the sod would EVER do anything like this again. And do you know why? Because the fucker would either be very seriously injured -or DEAD!!
And I am sure that many other’s feel the same as I. My trusty ‘coke hammer’ would give him a splitting headache that he would be DYING to get rid of. In other words I doubt he would live.
And would I care — honestly no I would not! Because these are not humans, they are just ‘gutter trash’ who must be terminated for the good of animals ( and normal humans) also.
I am a serious dog person who cannot stand this type torture and would gladly do the same to this piece of shit and definitely sleep very soundly knowing that another animal torturing bastard had paid the price!
