She was seen holding her dog by the neck. The dog rolled over several times. My reaction was wow. And then perez. He is seen in the video picking up the pug who is coincidentally also named ben. They had a heated argument, but why she threw her own dog is beyond him. Maybe she meant to hurt me by doing it. I am not sure. I cant speak for her, but i know the dog is fine. Even so Solano County authorities want to find chin and her dog and she faces possible animal cruelty charges although finding her has been difficult. Chin moved out of perezs house as soon as they broke up. We were tracking down every lead we get and talking with people that know her.
