Mt. Juliet, TN resident Tommy Jacobs told WKRN that Cami  – the family pet – got out of their yard on the morning of Jan. 17 in the Trailwood farms subdivision. Shortly after escaping, Cami was discovered by neighbors out for a walk  in a pool of her own blood with stab wounds all over her body.

"When I got up there she had multiple contusions. It was bleeding a lot. She was in rough shape. I think if she had stayed there another 30 minutes she probably would have bled out," Jacobs told WKRN.

A neighbor's camera caught what happened to Cami.

An AGW claimed that Cami attacked his dog and he was forced to stab Cami in self-defense – but the video tells a different story.

One of the neighbors who witnessed the incident, Susan Ashmoree, told local media "It tells about the kind of mindset that this person has to just walk away after doing what he did, it's horrible. If they are willing to do something like that to a dog imagine what they can do to others."
