An elderly couple says burglars not only ransacked and burglarized their Yorba Linda home, they say the suspects attacked their dog so severely, it had to be put down.
Peggy Lawson, 77, can't understand why anyone, even a burglar, would hurt her dog.
Last week, she and her 91-year-old husband George came home to their ransacked rooms in the middle of the day.
Whoever did the crime took cash and a gun, but what really mattered to the Lawsons was their 13-year-old, 9-pound toy poodle, Fifi. She was spitting blood and barely moving. They believe the thief or thieves beat her during the break in.
"Hugging her and kissing her, she tried to kiss me back and whined, and I said I won't put her through one more minute of pain," Peggy shared.
The Lawsons say their beloved retired therapy dog suffered four broken ribs, a punctured lung and other internal injuries. They made the difficult decision to have her euthanized.
