A South Carolina man who wrapped electrical tape around a dog's muzzle to stop her from barking has been sentenced to five years in prison. Media outlets report William Dodson's sentence Friday represented the state's maximum for animal cruelty. Judge Markley Dennis told the 43-year-old North Charleston man, "I wish I could give you more." Charleston Animal Society director Aldwin Roman says the sentence still sends a message that animal cruelty won't be tolerated. The case sparked international outrage after photos of Caitlyn's tightly bound snout spread on social media.
