Wow, just no excuse for what was done to this dog. Maybe they ought to tie her out for a while, as she looks to not missed any of her meals and probably could afford to.

I watched these videos in tears. That poor dog.
Here's some food for thought. Look at Courage's condition in these videos. Courage is ALIVE! Euthanasia was not yet his only option when he was rescued, thank god. Now, think of our resident filthy dog abusing troll. Reports state than one dog had to be euthanized immediately. Picture Courage, then picture a dog in WORSE shape, bad enough that it could not be saved. That's what that nauseating woman did to HER dogs!
There's a special place in hell for people like those two and all the others just like them!

Update on Courage from the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County:
April 18 -- Courage is recuperating nicely in a quiet foster home. He is walking a little more each day and eating well. We have started mixing in kibble with his wet food to give him more bulk. We have had an offer to get him some "swim therapy" to help him grow stronger, so we may treat him to this! We will post new photos of him this week!

Swim therapy would be great for such a dog since there would be no risk of him falling. In such cases the dog would probably be supported by a special type of sling at first, so there's no risk of drowning. Just in case you wondered about that.

Swimming is a great no-impact exercise for dogs. But I would certainly not want to swim him until he gains some weight and that is going to take another several weeks. I have seen a dog in my rescue who was almost this emaciated, and another one that another group took in who was as bad as Courage. I ended up involved with caring for him too and it took many months to get both dogs back to the place where they had any energy or strength at all, simply because they had no muscle mass.
Here at my pool, we always swim dogs with life jackets initially. And there are some who we always swim with a jacket for the entire time they come here. Some dogs become comfortable and we can take it off, but there are also other dogs who never get comfortable. Having the jacket on them gives us more control of the dog as well without getting hurt ourselves if the dog is thrashing around.
Sam, by the way, do you know the present status on the case with that POS who killed Buddy?
