Well done Gem! 

It's truly wonderful that you care so much that you took the time to write such an article, sharing the terrible incident and voicing your concerns about it. (I felt so sick too when I read what happened!) I'm sure it made a very big and important impression on everyone who read it. Hopefully many people out there (especially other children) will be inspired to follow your lead in the community, report such cruelty to authorities and put pressure on them to make sure something is actually done about it.

It's wonderful too that your mum can post it on her website, to spread the word and reach out to people all over.

I certainly hope the dog is alright now. Luckily it has a kind and loving home to go back to! 

Lots of love
