ORIGINAL STORY MAY 19, 2014
Knoxville woman says former roommate hung her dog over fence
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- From the looks of it now, you'd never know 5-month-old Bella's life was almost cut short earlier this month.

When Zoe Link couldn't find her playful pup, she knew something was wrong.

“I hollered for her because I didn't see her sitting by the door like she usually does and right about then, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and I heard a big thud,” Link says.

That thud, Link says was the sound of Bella hitting the fence.

"Her eyes were bulging out of her head, she couldn't move her mouth, breathe, nothing,” says Link.

As Bella hung there like a rag doll, Link quickly tried to help her dog.

"I was trying my hardest to get what I saw was noose off of her neck, got that off, ran across the street and at that time we called the police,” Link says.

Link not only couldn't believe her eyes, but she also couldn't believe what her roommate, Tyler John Pattinson told her.


"T.J. came up and let me know he had tried to kill my dog."

According to Link, this wasn't the first time a threat had been made.

"Easter Sunday we had been in Florida and we had to find somewhere for her to stay because he had threatened to skin her alive,” Link tells Local 8.

Bella did have some torn tendons and ligaments near her throat and neck area, but she is expected to be okay.

Link has moved out of the house where the incident happened.

Pattinson has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals.
