WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - A video of a groomer roughly handling a client's dog has been viewed on social media tens of thousands of times in a matter of days.
According to Williamsburg Police, in May a former employee of "The Fuzzy Butt Stops Here" groomer recorded owner Mironda Henning roughly handling a dog while grooming it.
Court documents say Henning jerked and flipped around a white cockapoo named Gidget. Henning was arrested in July and charged with animal cruelty.
In August, she was found guilty and charged with a misdemeanor. She was forced to pay a $1,000 fine. Many who have viewed the video say they don't think the punishment is harsh enough, so they are taking matters into their own hands.
On Tuesday, a group of people say they will protest outside of the business on Strawberry Plains Road.
At the groomer on Monday, workers told News 3 Henning no longer works at the business, but would not say anything else about her. It is unclear if Henning is still an owner of "The Fuzzy Butt Stops Here".
