Dog's body found with note: "We beat it 2 death lol!"
PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- An investigation is underway after a missing dog was found dead in Pembroke Pines with a note attached to its body which said "We beat it to death lol!"
CBS Miami reports that the owner, Ronald Boisvert, says he doesn't know why anyone would want to hurt his 13-year old Pomeranian named Fox.
The dog vanished Friday after Boisvert's girlfriend took him outside last Friday and never returned. On Saturday a "frantic" neighbor found the dog's body on the back porch of Boisvert's condo. Attached to the dog's body was a handwritten note taped to it which read "WE BEAT IT 2 Death lol! (smiley face) HAHAHA!" The dog had no visible injuries.
It was taken to Saint Francis Animal Hospital where a veterinarian's exam found it had multiple fractures. Dr. Ron Ridge, a veterinarian, says Fox had 10 broken ribs, missing teeth and a broken back. The vet says Fox was likely kicked to death.
Pembroke Pines police said at this time, this appears to be an isolated incident and there is no evidence to believe that other animals in the area are in danger.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Pembroke Pines Police Department at (954)431-2200 or call Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS.
