ASPCA Special Investigator Annemarie Lucas and Special Agent Joann Sandano are investigating a complaint of cruelty to two dogs in Far Rockaway, Queens. Sandano recognizes the location as a place she's had trouble with before. As the agents examine the dogs, it's clear that they have been fighting and that one is the aggressor and the other the bait dog, victim. Although the occupant of the house denies ownership of the dogs, the agents are suspicious and after a week of investigations return to arrest him. Meanwhile his dogs are taken to the ASPCA hospital to be cared for.
