 Boy watches in horror as teens hang his dog Edmonton Journal Sun Feb 03 2002 14:37:13 ET A 10-year-old boy had to watch in horror Saturday afternoon as the dog he had grown up with was hanged from some playground equipment by a group of teens. ;I've never dealt with anything like this before,'' said Const. Mike Moulds of the RCMP. ;This is quite disturbing to think that people could do this.'' The attack happened at a schoolyard in the Edmonton suburb of St. Albert. The boy was playing with his dog, Sheba, on a slide at around 2 p.m. when the teens approached. Moulds said the teens took the eight-year-old German-shepherd cross from the boy and used the leash to hang it from the top of a piece of equipment. When police arrived the dog was dead. The boy's mother, who only wanted the family's first names used, told the Edmonton Journal that her son David had been crying uncontrollably since the dog was killed. ;There are sick kids out there and they need help and they need to come to justice,'' said Donna, David's mother. ;They traumatized my 10-year-old son. He blames himself for this because he couldn't do anything.'' David told Donna that, when the boys approached, they were taunting him. David yelled for help and ran to a nearby skating rink when they hanged his dog. He found a stranger with a cellphone ;and said `please call my mom and dad because my dog is strangling,''' Donna said. Moulds said officers have fanned out looking for information on suspects, but no arrested had been made as of Saturday night. END |
