Incident Details
A small dog named Pebbles was attacked and killed by three pitbulls in its backyard in Thousand Palms.
The pitbulls yanked Pebbles' head out of the fence, ripping the collar off and leaving blood all over the place.
A neighbor had to help pry Pebbles' head out of the fence, but unfortunately, the dog passed away 30 minutes after the attack.
The attack was witnessed by the family, including the kids and a first-time baby-sitter, who were all left shocked and frightened.
The fence is still bent from the aggressive dogs, and the family is requesting that the three attackers be euthanized.
Riverside County Animal Control receives reports of dog attacks like this on a weekly basis, with John Welsh stating that this type of incident is "pretty severe but this is happening around our county all the time."
The owners of the pitbulls have the option to surrender the dogs for euthanasia or appeal any restraining orders that are posted on their property.
