The police report details the sickening abuse this tiny pup endured before passing away:
It's alleged that on the morning of January 15, 2020, Keets threw the puppy out of the window of the residence for barking, after that Keets can be seen slamming the puppy on the ground, crating the puppy, and then picking up the crate with the puppy inside and throwing it against a wooden fence.


The grievously injured puppy was rushed to Medvet in Columbus for round-the-clock care, but he could not be saved. The Ross County Humane Society broke word of his passing in a Facebook post on the night of January 15:
"It is with tears and sadness that we let you know that he passed away. We haven’t even made it home yet and the call from his doctor just came in. His injuries were too severe for his body to overcome. We did everything we could do and it just wasn’t enough. I’m sorry."
This innocent puppy deserves justice. Your signatures will be sent to officials in Ross County, Ohio, along with a request for Joshua Keets to be punished to the maximum allowable sentence by law.
