Norristown Couple Charged with Animal Cruelty
Authorities say Charles Charen and Erica Cannella burned their puppy and waited too long to get medical attention for the dog.
According to CBS3, a Norristown couple is facing animal cruelty charges after they allegedly waited a week to bring their pit bull puppy to the SPCA for medical attention.
Authorities say Charles Charen and Erica Cannella, of Norristown, took their four-month-old blue-nose pit bull puppy, Bella, to the SPCA a week after they say the dog injured itself was scratching and licking the wounds, making them worse. Veterinarians reportedly determined that the dog had been burned over 30% of its body, probably with hot water.
The couple are being charged with animal cruelty and conspiracy.

This is the daughter of controversial seminar guru Phil Cannella, and one of his former employees who was himself horribly mistreated when he worked there. I think that speaks volumes. The sins of the father come home to roost.
