June 18, 2012 was one of the darkest days in the
recent history of Arizona since the terrifying series of victimization of a
harmless pet dog, named Tony, reached its peak that day. Tony was put to death
by the animal control in Clifton, AZ, following judicial orders that ignored
the international outcry for a fair trial of the dog accused of fatally
injuring a smaller dog in the neighborhood while no physical evidence or solid
testimony supported the accusation.
Tony’s
Tale: Tragedy in Arizona (Robertson Publishing, 2012) is a
short book, authored by animal rights advocate and spokesperson Denise
Carey-Costa, telling Tony’s story from birth to execution and beyond. The book
shows glimpses of memorable phases in Tony’s life as a beloved member of the
owner Michelle Dozier’s family – Dozier’s acknowledgement to supporters being
part of the book.
This book is important to read as it gives voice to
the question of victimization by authorities, including a judge, which impose orders
despotically on civilians and are not accountable to the people despite getting
paid by the money raised from their taxes. A true story full of love,
belongingness, and pain, Tony’s Tale
is the voice of not a single person but everyone who believes in justice,
family, and love.
Note: A portion of the proceeds the book
gets from sales will be donated to The Lexus Project, a legal defense fund for
all dog breeds.

Everyone should read this book. The world needs to know that Tony was wrongfully murdered by a Justice of the Peace for no reason.
