They need your help finding this alleged cat killer

The guy and the dog.

As you know, our friends at Grove Gallery & Interiors on Bird Avenue have a few pets at the store - there are Bailey and Paisley their dogs and they had a store cat, Boots, who greeted everyone at the front door of the store.

Boots was killed on Saturday morning. This guy in the photo and the dog allegedly are to blame according to the gallery. they have it on tape.

"This guy was walking through the gallery parking lot at 7 am Saturday morning when his red short haired mutt went after the cat. He had the dog on a leash throughout the attack and never got him under control as the dog mangled two legs and made huge punctures in the cats stomach," says Sheila Kuhl, owner of the gallery.

Marilyn who works there found her 2 1/2 hours later when she arrived at work. They rushed  her to the vet (Dr. Tonarely at Ponce Animal Clinic), but they had to put her to sleep the next day.

"We’d like to get the word out about this man and his horrible animal.  I’d hate to see what this animal might do to a child he didn’t like," says Sheila.

Janel Kuhl says, "Just so you know, the dog owner did many things that precipitated the death of the cat including stepping on it to get leverage to pull it away from the dog and hitting the cat with a rock, apparently he was too scared of his own dog to stick his hand in his dogs mouth and pry it open."
