OCEANSIDE - As she sits in a park near Camp Pendleton, two small wooden boxes are by Janessa Pierce's side. "This is sassy and this is Zoe." Besides pictures and memories, the ashes inside the box are all that's left of Pierce's two dogs. "My kids still cry and ask for our dogs almost daily," said Pierce as she held back the tears. "It's unimaginable to think someone could do this to other people." Janessa then pulls out two pictures, one is a yellow lab mix with her and her husband, a child sits close in tears. Another pictures how a black Lab mix, her eyes closed on a hospital bed. These are pictures of Sassy and Zoe, they passed away two weeks ago, someone poisoned them. "We have evidence of the food that was put in the backyard," said Pierce. Reports from the Veterinarian also confirm the dogs died from Anti-freeze Toxicity.

It shows Sassy was taken the hospital one night before Zoe and passed away the next morning. She had been vomiting for two days. Zoe was also suffering from similar symptoms, she died after the Pierce's made the decision not to give her dialysis. Even with the treatment, she would have only had a 20% chance of survival. What's most disturbing to Janessa is, the poisonings are happening again. "There were other dogs on our street that were poisoned in the last couple of days and those dogs died as well." said Janessa. read more here
