Inside Belle and Piper\u2019s ordeal<\/h2>\n

Scenes aired on Wednesday July 24 showed Tom continuing to torment Belle \u2013 and her little dog too.<\/p>\n

Infuriated by a wet and muddy Piper<\/a>, Tom told Belle that if she couldn\u2019t train Piper properly, then he would. He then marched Piper outside, locking her out overnight. After he left the house, locking Belle inside, she climbed out of a window to give Piper water and food. She then snuck back inside as Tom returned.<\/p>\n

Tom\u2019s manipulation of the situation continued as he told Belle that\u00a0she\u00a0<\/em>was being cruel to the dog by not bringing her inside, denying that he had locked her in the house.<\/p>
