Marinna Rollins, 23, and Jerren Heng, 25, of Fayetteville, appeared in court on Wednesday in connection with the death of their male pit bull mix on April 16. Photos shared on Facebook appear to show the pair posing with the dog, which is tied to a tree, prior to his death.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fayobserver.com\/news\/20170425\/bail-raised-for-veteran-soldier-accused-in-execution-of-veterans-ptsd-therapy-dog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: null\">Fayetteville Observer<\/a>, Cam was originally named Huey. Rollins&#8217; husband adopted the dog shortly after separating from Rollins in January 2016, the paper reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Rollins&#8217; husband, who is in the Army, learned he was being assigned to South Korea, he said Rollins begged him to keep the dog, according to the Fayetteville Observer. After the husband deployed, Rollins changed the dog&#8217;s name to Camboui and got him certified as an emotional support animal for post-traumatic stress, the paper reported, citing Rollins&#8217; friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paper also reported that Rollins in April began posting on Facebook that she was trying to find Cam a new home, telling a friend that caring for the dog had become too expensive. On April 17, she posted that she had a great last day with Cam and that he was going to a new home, the Fayetteville Observer reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rollins and Heng appeared in Cumberland County court Wednesday. Their bail was set at $25,000 each, according to the paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recently separated soldier and her active-duty boyfriend have been charged with
