SAPS further proceeded to assist the owner and the left.
Inspector Siyabonga was dispatched in response to the call. Upon arrival, he witnessed a gruesome scene of cruelty. Jessica Cody’s owner directed him to where Cody was located inside the house. He immediately loaded Cody into the SPCA vehicle and transported him to the SPCA animal hospital in Grassy Park.
