Dog walker charged

[Catherine]

What she did was fraud in the first place. People paid her to take their dogs for walks and she wasn't doing it. When her actions had tragic consequences she tried to hide them with a big lie.

She certainly deserves to be charged. Whether she has really accepted responsibility and is truly sorry, that I am not sure about.

If she really feels guilty and remorseful then she could work through it. She could balance things with good works. If she starts rationalizing and making excuses I would doubt she will change.

She had to rationalize taking money for service that she did not give. It wasn't the first time. It was just the first time there were serious consequences. If the dogs hadn't died she would have continued to take the money without actually walking the dogs.
