Loose pit bull attacks and kills Yorkshire terrier in Brook Park on May 06, 2016 at 2:10 PM, updated BROOK PARK, Ohio – A loose pit bull attacked and killed a Yorkshire terrier last week on Sheldon Court, a small residential street south of Holland Road. The terrier's owner was walking the dog when the attack occurred at about 12:15 p.m. April 24. The owner broke a wrist trying to separate the pit bull from the terrier. At least one witness also tried to stop the attack. Police said the pit bull lived on Sheldon and had broken loose from an enclosure in its family's yard. The terrier was taken to a veterinarian after the attack. The pit bull was taken to the Brook Park Animal Shelter for observation. Alex Perkins, Brook Park's chief animal control officer, could not be reached Friday regarding the status of the pit bull, or if the pit bull's owners had been cited. Some communities, like Lakewood and Parma, ban pit bulls, although pit bull supporters have protested those laws, saying the animals are not naturally vicious.

Last year, Shaker Heights considered a pit bull ban after Annie Williams, a 71-year-old Cleveland grandmother, was mauled to death by a pit bull while she was visiting a family member in Shaker Heights. In November, more than 130 people crowded into Shaker Heights City Hall to oppose the proposed ban on pit bulls.Pink Seersucker Comforter Shaker Heights residents speak out against proposed pit bull ban (photos, memo)Grohe Essence Bathroom Faucet About two months later, Shaker Heights City Council voted down the pit bull ban.Budget Blinds Portland Oregon How to find a dog.

Taken on Biak Island, Indonesia in Sept. 1944. About 5,000 enemy soldiers were trapped in caves two miles away. Smoky was found in a foxhole by an American solider during the war and later sold to Cpl. Bill Wynne. She became a wartime sensation, backpacking through the New Guinea jungle and visiting injured soldiers to become one of the first therapy dogs. Wynne found her exceptionally easy to train and she was soon aiding in the war effort, including an assignment to help string communication lines between outposts in the Philippines. You can read Wynne's description of the event in the caption below. Bob Gapp and Bill Wynne set up Smoky when it became imperative that phone wires be strung to the airfield from three squadron areas. A culvert 8" in diameter and 70-feet-long under the taxiway was the logical place.

If dug up by hand it would have required many men three days work and the planes to remain operational would have to be moved to the steel matting along the runway. The runway was being bombed daily. Wynne coaxed Smoky through from the far end. She had to climb 4" mounds of sifted sand every 4" feet. She did it in a few minutes. She did it because she was asked to. This was a stunt I dreamed up in New Guinea to draw judges' attention to Smoky for the Best Mascot of the Southwest Pacific Area, SWPA, Theater of Operations. It worked as Smoky was chosen First Prize Mascot in the YANK Contest over more than 400 entries.

She could have been killed.The U.S. Army 120th General Hospital in Manila, took in the Battle of Luzon casualties. Smoky is held by Barbara Wood Smith American Red Cross on a bed of a wounded GI.

Smoky died in 1957, but a statue in Cleveland, Ohio immortalizes her, and at 91, Wynne still remembers his companion's heroic efforts.

Dr. Charles W. Mayo of the Mayo Clinic. YANK Down Under Magazine selected Smoky as the best Mascot in the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations in July 1944.
