A poor dog is shot by a creepy jerk with a BB gun. The story makes
the local TV news. A REWARD will be offered for information leading to
the arrest of the culprit.
OK with me - in general I love dog too. But does not the HUMAN
victim of a vicious dog also deserve some public sympathy and attention ?
Recently a vicious and out of control rottweiler devastated my
life. And the story did not even make the weekly POLICE LOG in the Cranston
Herald ( after I reported it myself ! ) . Nor did it make the POLICE LOG
in the Providence Journal ( my letter was published in " Your Turn ", West
Bay News, March 5 ) .
Around noontime on Tuesday ,January 29 - at the intersection
of Speck Ave. and Reservoir Ave. in Cranston - I was chased into Reservoir
Ave. by the rottweiler. I tripped and broke my shoulder. It seems that
the owner of the dog - after calling 911 - just disappeared. So I was
not able to get in touch with her. The Cranston police have made to effort
to find or identify the young woman. ( edit above : no effort )
She was a witness to a CRIME. She KNOWS that her dog
was responsible for my injury. Is she not guilty herself of a " hit and
run " crime ?
