Sep 03, 2011 Owner of decapitated dog hopes to save other pets

Chicago - Last week, someone stole a 7-month-old German Shepherd out of a yard in the Austin neighborhood, and three days later the dog turned up dead — its head in one trash can and its body in another.

“They took the dog to fight a pit bull and chopped the dog’s head off,” he initially told me.

"The heinous act has struck such terror in this community; the owner asked that I not use his name."

Jan 18, 2011 City to bite back, committee drafting Joey's law

Wilmington –– The Wilmington City Council is expected to move quickly to approve provisions defining and regulating dangerous dogs. An ordinance amendment was before the council Tuesday night for a first reading, and could very well be approved at the Feb. 1 council meeting.

Joey, a silky terrier adopted from a shelter by Dennis Sartore and Valerie Fox, is the victim of a bully. Joey has been attacked three times by a neighbor's roaming pit bull terrier-shepherd mix since May - the last time, in mid-December, Joey had seven gaping wounds, requiring many sutures and hundreds of dollars in veterinary care. Sartore was certain the big dog was trying to kill Joey.
