Heartbroken family finds its little dog stomped to death

5/8/2012

That adorable little ball of fluff in the picture is Romeo, a 10-pound Shih-Poo pup. In a shocking tale of cruelty, someone stomped Romeo to death in the driveway of his Pennsylvania home on Saturday night, a crime that has left Romeo's owners both heartbroken and fearing for their own safety. Michele Rogers said that when she heard the tiny dog barking, she went outside, saw a man running away and discovered Romeo's lifeless body. Police think the suspect may have been a thief eyeing the cars parked outside. Rogers is just afraid of what that person could do next. "What can he do to a human or a baby?" she asked.
