Paris was accused of taking a Siberian husky named Thor from her neighbor’s fenced-in yard in late November 2013 and then three months later, on Feb. 10, having the dog put down in her home by a veterinarian. She insisted the dog was uncared for and unwell.

However, during the court proceedings, a veterinarian testified that Thor was healthy and had no life-threatening issues.

“I was thrilled to death she got convicted. It’s a nice Christmas present,” Thor’s owner Mark Boehler, who is being treated for esophageal cancer, told WPXI. “If somebody did that to her dog, she would be crying like a baby. She knew what she did. She took that dog.”

Paris’s attorney said his client found the dog in a vacant lot when she was out for a walk, took care of him and later had him euthanized because he was sick.
