Happy ending to a sad tale at Shaftsbury
Ten months after the Manchester slaying in Shaftsbury, two men were convicted and sentenced. A thin red setter dog, found in poor condition at the Shaftsbury Animal Shelter, was nursed back to health and kept as a witness until the case ended. The dog was later returned to its original owner after authorities traced stolen property linked to the suspects. The Bennington Humane Society sheltercare enabled the recovery.
