FRANKLIN (AP) — A central Indiana woman faces two felony counts of animal cruelty after she allegedly doused her two pet dogs with gasoline and set them on fire.
Court documents state that 36-year-old Kathrine Brotherton of Franklin told police she was trying to kill her dogs March 9 because they had bit her.
She was being held Thursday in the Johnson County Jail.
Brotherton allegedly put her 5-year-old dog and 6-month-old puppy in a plastic drum, poured gas on them and then used lighter to set them on fire outside the rural Johnson County home she shares with her parents. Her mother called police and reported her daughter's actions.
Workers at the Johnson County Animal Shelter say the dogs are recovering and in remarkably good shape despite their burns.
