The Grand Rapids Press reports:
While other kids his age are attending proms and learning to drive, confessed dog killer Jonathan Castelan will be spending his high school years in prison.
For the first time in the three months since Castelan, 15, used a hammer to fatally bludgeon an 8-pound dachshund named Pinto, the dog’s owners heard an apology from the teenage killer, sentenced to spend three to 20 years in prison.

The Troy Messenger reports that veterinarians suspect Jim Berdeaux’ pet Bella was deliberately burned:
“We all loved her,” Berdeaux said. “It just breaks my heart to think that she might have been lying there burned liked that for four, six or eight hours. Bella was one of those dogs that went running, wagging her tail when somebody spoke to her. Why anybody would want to set a sweet dog like Bella on fire – barbecue her – defies humanity.”
In an effort to find out what happened to Bella, if she were intentionally set on fire or something else tragic happened to her, the Berdeaux family is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the alleged act.
The Humane Society of Pike County has committed another $500 toward the reward.
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact the Pike County Sheriff’s Department at 566-4347.

We don’t mean to be a downer with this story, but rather to call your attention to the threat of coyotes. The Calgary Sun reports:
Quinn Kliewer, 21, and a friend were biking near the 14 St. parking lot at Nose Hill Park with five dogs — two dachshunds, a border collie pup, German shepherd pup and a plott hound — following behind when the coyotes suddenly attacked about 1 p.m.
“We were biking through the trees and one of the wiener dogs that was at the end of the line, I couldn’t see him then I could hear him screaming,” said Kliewer.
“I went back to see what happened to him and he was gone.
Here’s some of the Daily Dachshund‘s past coyote coverage, but be aware that it’s not for the faint hearted.
