00:00Hi, this is Chief Rennie with the Grand Blanc Township Police Department and this here is Hank.

00:05Hank was abandoned at the Crecy Bicentennial Park a few weeks ago.

00:11He was abandoned in a port-a-potty very similar to this.

00:14I want to talk about the incident and then also give a call to action to all pet owners.

00:20So we were notified about Hank being abandoned inside the port-a-potty here at the park by our Parks and Rec team.

00:28We instantly started an investigation.

00:31He was abandoned for more than two days at the park.

00:36So we assigned this case to Officer Galenski, one of our top officers,

00:41who diligently worked to be the voice for Hank.

00:45What Officer Galenski found out

00:49was he made contact with the suspect who was a 25 year old female from Grand Blanc Township.

00:56She has not been arraigned yet in court, so I cannot release the name at this time.

01:03So the 25 year old female said that she abandoned Hank because the landlord

01:09could not accept the pit bull breed.

01:13She didn't know what to do with it, so she left Hank inside a port-a-potty.

01:17Now one of the employees, a good Samaritan named Jacob,

01:21who works for the company who services the port-a-potty,

01:25found Hank. What he found

01:27was Hank was freezing, freezing cold.

01:30Dog feces spread throughout the port-a-potty and pet urine.

01:36There was no water for Hank, just a small bowl of food.

01:40So my call for action for all pet owners is to be a responsible pet owner.

01:46Remember,

01:48you chose the animal. The animal did not choose you.

01:52We will be the voice for animals

01:54that go through animal cruelty.

01:57That 25 year old female was arrested.

02:01Now,

02:02we do have some severe cold weather

02:05coming within the next couple of days. I want to remind everybody,

02:09bring your animals inside

02:11or at least provide a nice warm shelter for them. It is a felony

02:16if you leave them outside and they end up dying due to the cold weather or any animal cruelty.

02:24Now last but not least,

02:27the good side.

02:29Hank is still with

02:31the employee

02:32who found Hank.

02:33He's being very well taken care of. I'd also like to give a shout out to our Grambling community

02:40who found out about this story previous to this video being released.

02:45The Grambling Veterinarian Hospital.

02:47Thank you for giving Hank his first years of shots and also stepping up to have him neutered when he becomes of age.
