Excellent news here! Some canny, determined investigation, an anonymous tip and a MySpace account have led authorities to the woman who dumped a critically injured dog off at the Dickson Human Society and sped away.
Marie Radabaugh must have thought she was in the clear after she dumped the Lab/collie mix out of her van and took her but a determined Human Society worker wasn’t going to let it go. Melissa Lee chased after the van but wasn’t able to catch up with it so she took out a full page ad in 5 local newspapers. A tip led her to MySpace where she found Radabaugh and pictures of Hania.
Radabaugh told authorities that Hania was found as a stray, already injured but the pictures posted on her MySpace account bely that. When Hania was dumped, it was obvious that she had recently just had puppies. Pictures posted on her MySpace account show Hania with her puppies and show her uninjured as well. This pictured will be able to be used as the basis for the first ever case of animal cruelty prosecuted n Dickson County.
“We took the information that was given to us, and we ran with it,” said Lee. “The picture speaks 1,000 words.
Hania had been shot in the face and half her face was practically missing. She’d been living with this horrific injury for likely months. Thanks to another hero in the story, Dr. Barry Fly of Nolensville, Hania received all the care she needed. Her eye was removed and her face was literally reconstructed.
The Dickson County Sheriff’s Office will bring charges of animal cruelty and abandonment against Radabaugh to the grand jury and we can only hope that there will be justice for Hania.
As for Hania, she’s doing well considering how horrific injuries were. She’s undergone surgeries and is healing now and in the future should be able to have a chance to have a home and family who will love and cherish this dog with an amazing will to live.

Thanks for the update info Andrea! It’s always a pleasure to share some good news.
I feel sickened by this. I am still amazed how some people can be so demented. I worry about what happened to her puppies.
POOR GIRL I HOPE SHE FINDS A LOVING FOREVER HOME. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PUPPIES?
look at her.miss beauty queen.well guess what i hope they put you in a cell with animal lovers then we will see how prissy you will be.you make me sick bitch.
Miss beauty queen ? Marie looks like my dogs ass , this low life scum will now pay , good work Melissa . Hania looks like a perfect girl , Great work all around . Rot in hell Marie , you are as ugly inside as you are outside
Wonderful news.I am so glad this sicko was tracked down.From the looks of her pic she thinks she’s “all that”.Sorry she is far from it.She is a sick,cruel nasty,very ugly person for causing such pain and abuse to an innocent animal.I too am worried for those little pups & pray they have a good safe loving home.Thank you to all who cared for this beautiful girl and may she find a loving forever home with people who truly value and care for her.
Dr. Fly did a beautiful job on Hania. That poor baby. I would be interested in where these puppies are. I hope she didn’t harm them. If she thinks she is “all that” she had better look in the mirror real good. And I must be Mrs. America. I hope she gets in a cell with an animal lover and just by accident something happens to her face. Part of it missing would be fine with me. When she was found, from the looks of her, Hania was still nursing. This leads me to believe that something horrible has happened to those little babies. I wish there was a way we could find out. People just don’t realize what a prize possession they have in a dog. Hania still shows love even after all she has been through. I also see more and more people on this site. Word will get around and these people that hurt, torture and kills animals are going to start having to watch their backs. I hope Hania finds a good home with good loving parents to cherish her.
Ah…Karma is SO satisfying!
Yes, it certainly is! Now if we could only see more of it!
Thanks for the lead to this update Andrea!

Way to go….Nice to see that bitch caught bang to rights.
All kudos to Dr Fly, If only every vet had his genuine compassion for animals and not for the money they bring in.
I too hate to think what may have happened to her poor pups.
Let’s just hope that by some chance they have good loving homes.
Terry….your dogs ass is far more beautiful than this “SLUTS” face! Probably smells better too…..LOL I too, am very worried about those pups. Hania is such a beautiful dog. It is always so difficult for me to believe that our cruel human race continues to do these horrific things to these beautiful animals. Dr Fly….you and your staff (I’ve said this before), are absolute Angels on this earth. The animals have a true savior in their midst (sp). Now, this is one vet I would throughly enjoy working for. Hania will get a wonderful furever home, I’m sure. D….can we find out what happened to the pups? I hope this POS gets half her face slowly scraped off, little piece by little piece and leaves her maimed and disfigured for the rest of her life. When she goes out on the streets, she will be laughed at and spit on. I despise this ugly slut!
Jess, tried to find some follow up about the pups, no luck
We can just hope that they went to decent homes… hope….
I’ve seen Terry’s dogs and they are beautiful, I can tell you that much!
Not that it would take much to be an improvement over this POS’s face!

Yes Jessie it is going to continue untill people stand up and start saying enough is enough. Put the hammer down and go all out to stop it all. From the sinceless slaughter of the wolves, the horses,the wildlife, the polar bears. The list go’s on and on. Write, call, email,fax,or in person. Make our voice heard. Contact, contact, contact. Keep doing it untill they listen. But its going to have to be everybody. I sign and send countless petitions and emails and I’m not going to stop. This insanity against animals has to stop. The guilty need more than a slap on the wrist and a stiff fine. Why not a stiff fine and a stiff prison sentence. Or better yet drop em off on an island for life and they can fend for theirselves, then they can show how big and bad they are then. I mean with nothing but their 2 hands. Now that would be a sentence : )
“I Keep Hoping”
When I first read this story, I had to close it and cry for this beautiful little girl, despite what she has been thru, and despite the surgeries she has had to endure, she is still a happy girl, who will love someone unconditionally if she is shown the same love and respect. Oh how I wish I could add her to my crew, just because.
Now, as for this “thing” – ah yes, the one who is “all that”, well, where shall I start? How a female, yes, a female is supposed to have that motherly instinct built inside her, could just dump any type of animal? What the hell got into her head? This is just as bad as dumping your two legged children, or like that goofy one who sent her vehicle plunging into the lake with her two little boys inside. How could she let anyone hurt this beautiful little girl???? And where the hell are those little pups? God help this stupid thing if she harmed one little piece of fur on those little babies. Yes, Karma – Karma will find this “thing”, but in the meantime, I want her to suffer – and I am not a mean hostile person, but what has happened to Hania is deplorable and vile.
Hania, you will get the home you deserve, because you have been cared for a wonderful vet and his staff (Hania’s guardian angels without fur). They will make sure you will never have another hand laid upon you, and that your new mom and dad will give you nothing but love and adoration. You are one tough cookie little Hania. Stay sweet, and remember that there are good people out there who will fight for your rights; and I believe that all of us here would fight tooth and nail for you little one!
You know what, they should take every single one of these waste of space and brand what they are across their forheads. Then they couldn’t make people think they are humanes when obiously they are not.
This broad needs a serious wake up call!
I graduated from high school with this woman. Let me tell you something – she was a B*TCH in high school. She was horribly mean and I see that hasn’t changed one bit. I hope she gets what she finally has coming to her. She is bragging on facebook that she didn’t do anything wrong. SICK SICK SICK
Obiously she doesn’t know right from wrong, I wonder how this B*TCH would feel if she got what she gave. She’s going to find out real soon how much wrong she did when the DA gets done with her stupid *SS : )
Say where are those puppies at?
The Humane Society called me today but I was to sic to talk to them. They are going to call me back. I’ll asked about the pups then.
Her picture shows a person of total evil, butt ugly too!
Does anyone have an update on what happened with this abuser? I also worry about any human children she has.
