My Mother-in-Law Suffocated My Dog for Her Pregnant Daughter

A hundred and four degrees out, and before I left for work I'd made a point of turning on the bedroom AC, because I was afraid the dog couldn't take the heat.

But my mother-in-law pried my bedroom door open by force, shut off the AC, and suffocated her dead.

By the time I got home from work, a dog worth a hundred and eighty thousand dollars had become a pot of soup.

Brenda Abbott, meanwhile, was patting my sister-in-law's six-month belly, looking pleased with herself.

"My baby girl, did you get enough to eat? Mom's not going to let you fall short on nutrition, so don't you worry."
