Girl Finds Missing Dog's Head In Box On Doorstep

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- A 17-year-old girl who spent weeks looking for her missing dog unwrapped a box left on her doorstep and found the pet's severed head inside, authorities said.

Homicide investigators were looking into the case because of the "implied" terroristic threat, St. Paul Police Sgt. Jim Gray said. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday it was offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

"This was extraordinarily heinous," said Dale Bartlett, the Humane Society's deputy manager for animal cruelty issues. "I deal with hundreds and hundreds of cruelty cases each year. When I read about this case, it took my breath away. It's horrible."

After Crystal Brown's 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix, Chevy, wandered away last month, she put up "missing" posters in her neighborhood and went door to door looking for him. She called the St. Paul animal shelter and rode the bus there several times.

"I felt empty," Crystal told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "I couldn't talk to anyone. He was my dog. It was just me and him. ... I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets."

Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."

Crystal opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.

Crystal screamed when she saw her dog's face.

"She was just hysterical," said Crystal's grandmother, Shirley Brown. "She was screaming. She said, 'Grandma, it's my dog's head!'

"I said, 'No it can't be!"'

Authorities say the case is an isolated incident and the suspect likely knew the family. A motive is unclear.

"This was so cruel," Crystal said. "This is one sick, twisted person."

She now has a new puppy, another Australian shepherd. She's named it Diesel. "Hopefully, he'll be my best friend," Crystal said.

Sick, sick, sick. I hope the person who did this sick thing
goes straight to hell and burns with his eyes open.
That's the best I can say right now as I sit here crying for
that poor animal.

OMG how can people be so cruel??? I agree with Carol, that is what he deserves for this. There has been someone going around in our area killing cats and hanging them from trees. Some people are just SICK!!

OMG, that is just awful how must that poor girl be feeling.
My 1yo Boots was at a neighbours door yesterday when a friend calling for 1 of her kids kicked her, well he did'nt see me standing at my door watching him. My husband and freinds say that im 1 of the most easy going person that they no. Well not yesterday, I was like a lunitic squealing and shouting at him, the young lad nearly @>&^ himself, my husband had to come out and take me in he was so surprised at me.
So if i reacted like that, i can almost feel how that poor girl musta felt.
Oh Boots was fine by the way she only went over looking a little pet she absoulty loves kids. (more fool her eh)

I agree and I hope he burns forever I really hesitated to read this because I know it will just depress me

What a sick thing to do to a dog and then mailing the head to the child. The person who did that is a monster

[rrosenberry]

That is above and beyond cruel!

I had to read this on the front page of our newspaper this morning and I could not read all of it!!! An entity such as this does not deserve a life among HUMAN BEINGS or living creatures. I can't even say any more, i was sick to my stomach and still am. It is all over our local news as well. Discusting, inhumane there are no printable words for this. 'nuff said

ps, just had to edit and add, if you can get through the sick part, here is the complete story about homicide detectives getting involved and the humane society

What in the world is wrong with some people I'm so disturbed by this story. How in the world could anyone do such a sick and twisted thing to an innocent animal. That poor girl now has to live with those memories of seeing her dog's head for the rest of her life. How terrible and I truly hope they find the sicko that did this.
