WAUSAU - Protestors hope a Wausau woman gets the maximum sentence in a dog abuse case there.
20 year old Sean Janas was in court Monday.
She entered a plea of not guilty to two felony counts for the mistreatment of animals.
Prosecutors say Janas poisoned her boyfriend's dog, a German shepherd-Labrador mix named Mary, and tortured the animal before the 4-year-old dog died in June.
A group of protesters, some with their dogs, gathered outside the courthouse yesterday.
The protesters have called on prosecutors to seek the maximum penalties against the woman.
Janas remains in jail with bond set at 25-hundred dollars.

TOMAHAWK - Workers at Daigle Brothers in Tomahawk can build almost anything out of steel. Most of their business is creating custom parts and putting up buildings, but more recently, they've been building a new invention.
Daigle Brothers began in 1987. Back then they did a lot of construction related jobs like painting. Later they focused on steel construction.
"In the 90's we did a lot of school buildings, there was a lot of schools being built, so we supplied structural steel for these building projects... Currently our biggest markets are universities, hospitals, office buildings... we do a lot of fire stations," said Steve Daigle President of Daigle Brothers Inc.
