Query: Cruel!

I lost all respect for the protagonist Dianne Robbins after she failed to report a horrible case of animal cruelty (against Orion, the poor puppy who was repeatedly beaten by Buddy)! That might sound petty, but what kind of person could ignore that? Animal abuse is a crime. Shame on Dianne for being too self absorbed to take action.I did not like this book at all. Perhaps I'm too much of a dog lover, but I was too disturbed to enjoy it.
