An arrest has finally been made in a Montreal area animal abuse case in which a nail gun was used on the skulls of three dogs. The three dogs, two of them puppies, are black Labrador Retrievers, one of the most popular breeds in Canada and the United States. <a href="http://www.akc.org/breeds/labrador_retriever/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Labradors </span></a>are famously known for their friendliness and make excellent pets for any family with children.

The mother and her eight puppies were found on Stagecoach Road around Christmas time last year. Two of the puppies were shot two to three times in the skull with the nail gun, and both dies from their injuries. The mother survived after a 8cm nail was successfully removed from her skull.

According to the Montreal Gazette, a 52-year-old man from Stanbridge East, a municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, was arrested last week. While the horrific abuse took place in December of last year, the unnamed man was finally arrested due to an abundance of tips received by the police on the case.

A huge ‘thank you’ to the people who came forward with information. Hopefully this person will be in prison for quite some time. If he can so casually cause such brutal harm to innocent, loveable puppies, what kind of harm could he do, or has he done already, to humans?
