Just wanted to update everyone... The dogs from the home on Waterman were picked up by animal control last Wednesday around 11pm. They attacked and killed the toy poodle earlier that day. My aunt and her neighbor went up to animal control and WERE able to positively identify the dogs after seeing them in person. The photos provided by the police looked similar, but they couldn't make a 100% identification off of the photo. The officers must have had additional evidence that we were not aware of when declaring these the dogs and issuing the citation. I should NOT have posted that post, but we were very upset and afraid the killer dogs were still unidentified. These ARE the dogs that have now killed at least 4 animals and have attacked more. They have been positively identified by my aunt, her neighbor that witnessed the attack went up and identified them as well. The woman whose toy poodle was killed has also positively identified them. We ARE pressing charges and prosecuting to the fullest extent the law will allow. The owners were cited more than once for their dogs running loose and STILL allowed them out to kill again last Wednesday. PLEASE report ANY dogs that you see running loose to the proper law enforcement or animal control offices. I am also now campaigning for awareness of responsible pet ownership and stricter enforcement of leash laws. Please follow me on Twitter @KimmyG1971 and help me get #sugarbutt trending. Sugarbutt is the dog we had to euthanize because the bites punctured her intestines and other organs. Her surgery was going to cost over $2,000 minimum and there was no guarantee she would make it. We simply couldn't afford that!!! Please help spread the word - for #sugarbutt!!!!!
