The huge rotting tree that fell on the home was supposed to be removed weeks before.

A man burst out of the woods, getting into a black SUV and driving off - and behind him, struggling, was a dog that had been shot six times.

By some miracle, a good Samaritan noticed, stopped and immediately jumped in after her.

His visit was arranged so he could be wheeled right up to the fence at the 200m mark, where he'd get an unparalleled view of the action. 

CPW wildlife officers and tracking dogs located three black bears nearby, a 10-year-old female and two yearlings.

Paskalides saw that Monyay was a determined young woman and just needed that mentor figure in her life.

On the day of the visitation, as Raelynn sat on the steps at the funeral home, she saw a dog passing with its owner and called out.

Little's owners said they didn't have the funds for the her medical needs, so the community has reportedly rallied around around the dog.
