She had two broken legs and a broken rib. However, once her injuries healed, Oreo was almost impossible to control. She showed extreme aggression during several behavioral examinations: growling, lunging and trying to bite people who came too close. Despite the fact that dozens of people expressed interest in adopting her, the American Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals felt she had to be put down, believing she would never be able to do any of "the companion things" a normal dog does. “The dog is a victim of cruelty,” responded Nathan Winograd, a former director of operations for the San Francisco S.P.C.A., who has helped set up no-kill programs around the country. “It’s incredibly traumatized. It’s going to be fearful and distrustful and perhaps even in pain. Under those circumstances, even evaluating the dog right now is setting the dog up for failure.”  The year old dog was euthanized in November 13, 2009. I created this work in memory of Oreo and as a statement against animal cruelty. The flesh of the statue with its grimacing faces and twisting lines, reveal the madness and pain of a tortured soul. The form, in sharp contrast, stands noble and proud. -David Platt This work was created for the Pet Health Stores sponsored promotional event and auction.
