Synopsis

The film involves an undercover investigation by LCA's special investigations unit of Martin Creek Kennel in Williford, Arkansas, an alleged "Class B" dealer. A member of the unit known simply as "Pete" to maintain his cover, obtains a job at the kennel and documents deplorable conditions: dead dogs, dying dogs, starving dogs, dogs covered with wounds, dogs with missing ears.^[1] Partially as a result of the documentation, the kennel was permanently shut down by federal authorities.^[1]
