Man arrested for taping dog's mouth shut

A South Carolina man is behind bars for taping a dog's mouth shut.

The case took the internet by storm when images surface of the dog's injuries.

Caitlyn, a 15-month-old terrier mix, was found in critical condition on a doorstep in North Charleston last week.

The electrical tape was wound so tight, the dog's tongue was caught between teeth and cutting off blood-flow.

Police charged 41-year-old William Dodson with animal cruelty.

An affidavit claims Dodson taped the dog's mouth because he was tired of it barking.

Vets say Caitlyn should make a full recovery.
