I am writing this with a heavy heart tonight. My 7 year old Chihuahua Squirrel was killed tonight by two pitbulls at the old Boys and Girls Club located on Stewart Street. My father took our dogs to the park like always, and when he got there, two pitbulls, a brown one and a white one charged at Squirrel. Both pitbulls got a hold of him and the nightmare began. My dad began screaming frantically and there was nothing he could do. One of the owners, a lady came up to my dad and said "oh no your dog is bleeding" my dad responded, in tears, that your dog did this!!!
