Police said they reported to a residence where a possible disturbance had been reported. Officers eventually made contact with the apartment resident, who agreed to meet the officers at the apartment. Once inside, police discovered the resident's dog, a 1-year-old Shih Tzu, had died.
Animal protective services officers responded to the scene and performed a necropsy on the dog. Results revealed:
Multiple hemorrhages of the skin and body
Three cracked ribs, which resulted in hemorrhaging of the lungs, one of which had collapsed
Hemorrhaging in the abdomen, left eye and brain
Liver had been torn into pieces as a result of trauma
Several fractured teeth
Chronic complete fracture of the femur in the left rear leg
