Dog Days of June
There seems to be a lot of dead dog stories hitting the news this past week.
The saddest canine departure would be that of Var, the hero Spokane Police canine who took a bullet two months ago (like he was trained) for two of his human partners – died last weekend after vets discovered a tumor.
The most appalling act of animal cruelty was caught on video on June 22nd in front of City Hall. Its shocking video of some careless human being breaking into a car yanking the small dog out of the vehicle and throwing the dog at the wall of City Hall.
Moscow Murder Mystery
Still no solid leads surrounding the murder investigation of 28-year-old pregnant school teacher Sarah Parks of Moscow, Idaho. Medical examiners earlier this week determined Parks was dead before a fire erupted in her apartment.
The Moscow police haven’t ruled anybody out. Hopefully police take a very close look at Parks’ husband, Silas Parks who claims he was working out at the time of the murder.
The suspect faces a double murder charge.
