(CBS/AP) CLEVELAND - Cleveland authorities say three dogs have been tied to railroad tracks, and two of them have died after they were hit by a train.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that it happened last week in the city's Tremont neighborhood. A third small dog that hunched down when the train came managed to survive.

A bridge monitor found the little dog Friday night and called police. The worker says he witnessed from a distance the dog being tied to the tracks and someone appearing to take photographs or video of it.

By the time the railroad worker got to the dog, the train had passed and the man was gone. The bodies of the other dogs were found in the same secluded stretch of tracks.

First thing that popped into my head when the witness said the ******* took pictures or videotaped it was that he probably took these babies from someone and did this as revenge on them, (ex wife/girlfriend) and will send the pix/video as a way to hurt them.......... sick freak

by margroks August 15, 2012 1:06 PM EDT: They deserve the same fate. They are not as good as those poor babies they murdered. I hope they get caught and severely punished. Think how those poor dogs felt to die so horribly. There are too many people who take pleasure in torturing animals and they should all be put down like the rabid animals they are.; Reply to this comment
