Melody,
4-1/2 mo old, black lab mix; |
Various;
6 puppies were killed, apparently by fireworks. A Labrador mix,
suffered burns on her muzzle and hindquarters from apparently
being shot at with fireworks. The Tulsa
SPCA is caring for the injured dog and for the puppies' mother,
who was not harmed. The mother was found laying with her puppies
in an abandoned house by a neighbor. By the time animal control
returned for the pups bodies, they had been removed. Reports indicate
that the puppies had fireworks in their mouths and their mouths
were partially blown off. Neighbors had called police the night
before the dogs were discovered to report 3 teenage boys walking
through the neighborhood with lighter fluid and randomly shooting
fireworks rockets. |
