Mysterious beating of dog shakes Colorado mountain town
Community members of the small mountain town of Milliken were shaken on Tuesday morning after discovering a family’s 10-year-old Irish Wolfhound named “Cody” was beaten to death just outside of their home in Weld County.
According to a report from Fox31 News, Cody’s lifeless body was found 10 feet away from the family’s property line with his collar wrapped tightly around a nearby pipe. It was a disturbing sight for the family who believed it signified some type of killing “trophy.” The dog reportedly shared a special bond with the family’s 8-year-old son. Read the full story here.
