Dog pack runs rampant through city

A pack of unclaimed dogs ran throughout the city on Saturday, July 20, and again Sunday, July 28, leaving carnage in their wake. The pack attacked and killed animals, including as many as 25 cats, most of which were beloved family pets. Authorities say little can be done unless changes are made in city or county regulations.

Kristin Schustereit said she heard a commotion outside her home on Edna Circle on the morning of July 20.

“I ran outside to find seven dogs attacking one of my cats (Mama),” she said. “I hollered and ran at them and they scattered. She was still alive, but not for much longer. She was trying to meow but couldn’t really move.”
