A trip to the vet ended with a mother and daughter in handcuffs.
Sunday, Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested Kay Celek and her 17-year-old daughter in Cape Coral for neglecting their four dogs. Two of them died, but the other two are now receiving much-needed care.
When the two owners brought 1-year-old dog, Bailey, to Animal ER of Southwest Florida, she had to be put down due to being malnourished. The veterinarian said Bailey’s condition was from at least two weeks of neglect. She knew something was wrong and call LCSO’s animal abuse unit.
