Dog Killed in DeWitt Clinton Park

6 August 2013 8:39pm DeWitt Clinton Park

Well that’s depressing. We’ve just heard that last Wednesday morning (the 31st), two dogs got into an altercation at the dog run in DeWitt Clinton Park, and one of the dogs was killed.

There’s a review on Yelp from someone describing what happened, and it’s a bit horrific. Here’s the nicer first half of it:

As the owners of Cinderella (the 45 pound brownish yellow rescue dog with multiple bald spots) that killed 10 pound Symba at 10:30am 7−31−13, I hope you ensure that this does not happen again.

We weren’t there, so we don’t know for sure what happened, but it sounds like the owners of the small dog that was killed took him into the large dog area instead of the small dog area. The other larger dog is apparently a rescue dog, so might have had some unfortunate behavioral issues. These two issues came together and sadly caused the death.
