A Florida woman was sentenced to more than five years in prison on Friday after she was caught on camera abusing a Husky.

Elizabeth Jaimes admitted to beating the dog with a rubber mallet. She was recorded on a hidden camera beating Kimberly Johns' husky, named Maya.

Prosecutors said Jaimes moved into a home in Tampa with her boyfriend, his mom and his mom's dog in August 2022. Prosecutors and Johns urged the judge to come down hard on Jaimes for abusing the dog, according to Fox 13.
