Petition: Demand Mental Health Counseling for Man Accused of Violent Dog Abuse

A disturbing case of alleged animal abuse in Boston has left many shocked. Footage captured by a bystander shows a man repeatedly whipping a dog named Pluto with a leash, striking its head and face again and again. Even more distressing, the video shows him screaming, lifting Pluto off the ground by the collar, and dragging the helpless animal across the pavement. Sign the petition now to demand stronger action.

Local authorities have ordered the man to stay away from Pluto, avoid owning animals, and undergo an evaluation. But that isn’t enough. Allegedly harming an animal in this way signals deeper issues that can escalate to violence against people. Mandatory mental health counseling is essential—not only for Pluto’s sake, but for community safety. The suspect continues to claim he was “training” the dog, yet nothing about these actions resembles training.

Suffolk County must require mental health counseling immediately. Sign the petition now.
