Reward increased for information in case of beheaded dog
MINNEAPOLIS — A financial reward for information in the death and beheading of a teenage girl’s dog has been raised to $10,000.
The Humane Society first offered $2,500 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case. The agency now says it is increasing the amount after getting pledges and donations from the public.
The Australian Shepherd, Chevy, belonged to a 17-year-old St. Paul girl. About two weeks ago, she opened a gift-wrapped box that had been sent to her house and found the dog’s head inside.
Homicide police are investigating because of the implied threat to the family.
Police have said the motive is unclear and that the suspect likely knew the family.
