Honey the Bull Terrier Survives Dognapping and Fights
A 9 year old bull terrier named Honey was stolen from a North Side yard in a dogfight scare. She was found battered and unable to walk, treated at a vet, and returned home with antibiotics after a $132 bill. City officials vow tighter enforcement as residents urge witnesses to report suspicious activity near pets and rebuke a $26 unlicensed tag fine. Honey’s rescue raises questions about other pets missing or harmed and calls for stronger action against dogfighting in parks.
