Today, Romero has been sentenced to 36 months in Federal prison, followed by 12 months of supervised release, in addition to a $500 fine and $343.68 in restitution to Buddy's owners.
Though the punishment is the maximum allowed by law, it still seems inadequate to many individuals who were saddened by Buddy's cruel, inhumane death.
Buddy's supporters established a petition site for Buddy, as well as a Demand Justice for Buddy Facebook site. In late April, a candlelight vigil was held in Buddy's honor, as a donated memorial stone at the Roice-Hurst Humane Society was dedicated. The stone reads "For Buddy, and all the animals that have no one to weep for them."

In memory of a precious dog named Buddy
What did I ever do to you, just a dog living my life
With the good folks I knew, now I'm so far away
But I still see you...
I don't feel the pain, it disappeared at heaven's gate
I won't be home again, but the world is at my feet
I'm on another plane, I'm everyone's Buddy.
I'm everyone's friend
I'm the dog that you once knew, I'm the love within your hand
I'm the one that you will through, the one for whom you make a stand
Thanks, I know you love me, I'm everyone's Buddy.
Well, I've been through the worst, a bad person is a curse
Take a life well that's a sin, and you know where I have been
Yeah, I know to hell and back, down a dark and snowy track
But now I feel your hearts and the love you send so far.
Well, life is what you make it and justice ain't for taking
You and I will raise it, it ain't so complicated
I'm here at your side, like every dog in every human's life
Yeah, we're gonna brave it.
Cos I'm everyone's friend
I'm the dog that you once knew, I'm the love within your hand
I'm the one that you will through, I'm the one for whom you make a stand
Thanks, I know you love me, I'm everyone's Buddy.
Man's best friend is here to the end
Always and every way we are one
Kind and true, I, I believe in you
I'm your dog your little piece of God
I pray we'll see this through
I'm just one but see what we begun
You are mine and I am yours
A better world for every one
Your hands and my paws
I'm everyone's friend
I'm the dog that you once knew, I'm the love within your hand
I'm the one that you will through, the one for whom you make a stand
Thanks, I know you love me, yeah
Cos I'm everyone's friend
I'm the dog that you once knew, I'm the love within your hand
I'm the one that you will through, the one for whom you make a stand
Thanks, I know you love me, I'm everyone's Buddy.
