Image via WikipediaI have been following this crime since the day it took place.Tonight there is JUSTICE FOR "Courage," the German Shepard who was left chained to a pole by the owner for days on end, without food or water.
Justice has FINALLY been served in the animal cruelty case here in Bellflower. Courage is doing great now. As a matter of fact, our hoods' 'wonderdawg' recently made a "personal" appearance here at the Grand Opening of the new Lucky Dog Cafe here at the Los Cerritos Shopping Center.
Woof woof!

NORWALK – A 27-year-old woman pleaded no contest today to nearly starving her dog to death last year, the District Attorney’s Office.
Kimberly Kimiko Nizato entered her plea to one felony count of animal cruelty before Judge Margaret Bernal at Norwalk Superior Court. Nizato pleaded open to the court, meaning there was no offer by the District Attorney’s office, prosecutors said.
Nizato was charged after a severely emaciated adult German Shepard she owned was rescued from her home on April 6, 2010. The veterinarian who examined the dog determined there was no evidence of food in his system, but hair, dirt and rocks were found in the stomach, authorities said. Nizato worked in the veterinary field at the time of the offense. The dog, who was later adopted and renamed Courage, now weighs more than 80 pounds and is in good health, according to authorities. The defendant faces up to three years in state prison when she returns to court on July 28 for sentencing by Judge Robert Higa.
