SIGN: Heartbreaking, Employee Kicks and Hits Dog at Dog Daycare Causing Death

Published: October 20, 2025 at 08:14 PM Author: Penny Eims
Mitch died from injuries at the Ballard dog daycare facility

Ballard, Washington – A Labrador retriever named Mitch suffered devastating internal injuries after a staff member at the Lazy Dog Crazy Dog daycare facility in Ballard viciously kicked and punched him. According to charging documents, 20-year-old Dejean Cornelius Bowens attacked the boarded dog, causing fatal injuries, on August 3.

Bowens became irate after the six-year-old dog knocked something over. Investigators say Bowens repeatedly kicked and punched Mitch, continuing the brutal attack even after the terrified dog tried to hide under a table.

Over an hour later, when it became clear that Mitch was in distress, Bowens finally took him to an emergency veterinarian. But too much time had passed, and the injuries proved fatal; Mitch died from internal bleeding caused by a ruptured kidney.

Mitch’s owners, Neela and Anthony Brocato, are devastated over the cruel and unexpected death of their beloved dog. Neela tells KOMO News that Mitch was “The sweetest, most loving dog and just creature that brought joy to everyone’s lives and everyone he touched.” Adding, “This just senseless act of violence has just been earth-shattering for us.”

Bowens was “fired immediately” from his position at the dog daycare facility. He was formally charged on Sept. 29. On Oct. 13 Bowens pleaded not guilty; he is due back in court on Nov. 26. for a pre-trial hearing at 1 p.m. Animal cruelty convictions carry a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a fine. Mitch’s death was cruel and senseless. This innocent, sweet dog was attacked and terrorized by a man who was tasked with providing him care. If you are as outraged as we are, please add your name to the petition and help Animal Victory get justice for Mitch.

Target: King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS: 

We, the undersigned, demand that Dejean Cornelius Bowens be held accountable for his unprovoked, violent attack on a boarded dog named Mitch. This brutal attack caused devastating internal injuries, which claimed this innocent Labrador retriever’s life. It is our collective demand that Bowen face the maximum sentence for the felony charge of first-degree animal cruelty. We also demand that he be permanently banned from owning, residing with, or working with animals. Laws must recognize the actual seriousness of animal abuse and ensure that those who commit these brutal acts are held fully accountable.

Research shows a clear link between animal cruelty and human violence. Those who harm animals often pose a danger to people as well. Failing to hold this man accountable not only denies justice to the animals he brutalized but also puts the entire community at risk.

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.

17,242 KATHY LEATH See anyone that hurts an animal or a child does not deserve to see the following day. There shouldn't be a court appearance. There shouldn't be a trial. It should be instant death and it should be the same torture that they put upon animals. So let's see they're torturing an animal, and they're slicing it. And they're dismembering it, and they're raping it. They need to get the same treatment and let them dye a slow and painful debt. That's the only way to take individuals out of our society. Like this? Do not release them back into society because devils like this will never stop. They start with small animals, then bigger animals. Then, children and then adults. So they need to be killed, not rehabilitated. Individuals like this do not get rehabilitated. There's no sense, keeping them in jail and us taxpayers, paying for them to be kept in jail. Alive? What is the point of having debt penalties? When individuals like this and others are sitting there for 10 20 30 and 40 years, and instead of getting the debt penalty right? Then, and there they just die of old age. They should just be killed right then. And there and whoever finds this message harsh, I don't care whoever don't like it. I don't care whoever finds it. Evil I don't care. Whoever says it's just an animal that a human life matters more than an animal. No, it don't. God created the animals, it says in the Bible. Let everything that has breath praise. The Lord so their lives as just as important as a human. Okay so I can't stand while people say, it's just an animal. That's what they're there for no, they're not You want to know what's the most?Evilist creature in this world are humans not animals.Humans remember, god told noah to build an ark and take two of every animal.Remember that not two of every nation, two of every animal.Remember that sincerelyYou're someone that speaks the truth straight out 0 Nov 19, 2025

16,840 Stephanie Muzney I'm so sad for this innocent animal, I just cannot comprehend this behavior?! What is wrong with people? What is happening in our supposed "civilized" society? After 30+ years in animal rescue, I still cannot believe animal cruelty, esp of this magnitude, is so rampant and goes literally unchecked. The current laws are not enforced, they are are far too lenient, and those with the power to do something don't seem to care enough to use it to for good. It breaks my heart and makes me sick to my stomach. And only until someone has the guts and compassion it takes to hold offenders accountable, I fear nothing will get better, for animals OR people. 💔 0 Oct 30, 2025
