Animal Control Picks Up Abandoned Puppy With Ears Cut Off

Series of dog killings brings reward offer May 5, 1999 BY CURTIS LAWRENCE STAFF REPORTER A gruesome string of dog killings on the West Side--in which the animals were tied to railroad tracks and left to be struck by trains--has prompted Cook County Crime Stoppers to offer its first canine-related reward. "Four dogs basically have been murdered," said George McDade, a Crime Stoppers spokesman. "To tie a dog down to a railroad track and have a train run over them is just pathetic." A fifth dog was rescued by railway police and given to the Anti-Cruelty Society, but it was later euthanized because of a respiratory illness. McDade said the organization is willing to pay up to $1,000, the top amount it has ever paid, for information about the killings. The dogs have been found in the past month on the Belt Railway tracks between Roosevelt Road and the Eisenhower Expy. just east of Cicero Avenue. Three of the dogs were pit bulls, one was a Doberman and one was a German Shepherd mixed with another breed. The last killing, involving a pit bull, happened last Friday. "We believe that quite possibly these dogs were fighting dogs at one point," said Mark O'Donnell, chief of the Belt Railway Police Department. "Maybe they didn't fight good and [the dog owners] wanted the dogs killed, or it could be a person that just isn't right and is out there killing them." The dogs have been tied to the rails, and O'Donnell believes the dogs tire from trying to escape and lay down on the tracks to sleep. O'Donnell said the dogs tied to the tracks could be a danger to train crews if an engineer applies the emergency brakes. McDade of Crime Stoppers fears that a young child may see the dog tied to the tracks and try to rescue it. Chicago Sun-Times

"... Some people said the owners left him last year and he's been scrounging food and living in a burnt down house. They said he was a white Pitbull. But I couldn't find a single hair, just scabs and scars.... I hated to put him to sleep. He wagged his tail the whole time I was holding off his vein..."
