State senator abandons pregnant dog
The pet blogs have been buzzing since the news got out that South Carolina State Senator Kent Williams returned his pregnant German shepherd, Gretchen, to the Marion County shelter he adopted her from the previous year. Turns out he never had the dog spayed, and kept her outside in a fenced yard.
Gretchen gave birth to eight puppies, all that went to rescue groups, but no update on what happened to mom. Williams said he was only trying to “help” Gretchen when he took in her and two other dogs (the other two he gave to relatives).
Wonder what the voters will have to say about this when Williams needs their "help" come election time?
