Pitbull kills small leashed dog
May 2, 2008, 3:13 PM
An officer responding to a call about dogs at large came to 16th and Wenonah and saw another officer pick up a small, injured dog. A 29-year-old woman told police she was standing at 16th and Wenonah with her infant in a stroller and her dog on a leash, waiting for her older child to get out of school, when two or three large dogs ran up and attacked her little dog. Two bystanders helped pull the attacking dogs off her pet, but it was too late. The little dog died of its injuries, which included puncture wounds to its heart and lungs. Many children were present in the area, as school had just let out. Jason M. Oliveros, 22, of 7032 16th, told police he was the owner of the large dogs, which were pitbulls. He said he did not know how they got out of the back yard. Police seized the dogs and issued tickets to Olveros.
