When we got back home from the Austin Bulldog shows we recieved some terrible news. Elwood, the litter mate to our boy Jake, and his bulldog friend Chloe were beat and shot to death. They lived in a small SW Kansas town and were in the backyard, while part of the family was running errands and part of the family was at home. Someone broke into their yard and brutally beat these two bulldogs to death. We do not know if they were shot first and then beat or vice versa. Chloe was dead and Elwood was alive, but he did not live long enough to be operated on. This is a sweet family that has very little money and sacrificed a great deal just to own these two dogs. Their town mascot was the Bulldog and he had gone to all of the hometown games this year. He slept in the childrens rooms his entire life. If anyone has any contacts in West Kansas please let them know about this. The local crime prevention organization is offering a reward and local law enforcement is taking this very serious and aggresively pursuing the culprits behind this. Here's hoping to find these bastards and sending them to jail where they belong.
We will be giving them a girl this coming weekend to help ease some of their heartache at this. Their children are having nightmares and waking up crying and screaming.
what the hell is wrong with these people!
i am going to have nightmares myself.... OMG i will keep this family in my prayers for sure.....
Chris.....
Oh how awful!!....
I just sometimes can't understand for the life of me why people do the things they do!
That poor family!! That is so kind of you to be giving them another bullie, to help ease the trauma of what they've gone through.
very sick world we live in.......
that anyone could harm an animal or child is incomprehensible. Like Cathy said there is a special place in hell reserved for these people-hopefully the way they treated animals on earth is their punishment for eternity. RIP Elwood & Chloe and prayers going out to the family.

To those who understand no explanation is needed. To those who don't no explanation is possible.

Re: Bad news
BrettSending positive thoughts and prayers to that familyThat is such a horrible story...
Words can't even express the outrage that we should all feel about this.
OMG!
This is unreal! Brings tears to the eyes thinking about those poor helpless babies. Pray they catch those heartless %&*#*!!
Re: Bad news
When they find these SOB'S they should get the same treatment!! It is WONDERFUL of you to be giving them a girl.Hopefully it will help ease the pain for the children. This is really so devistating.
Re: Heartbreaking
Someone on the Bullmastiff list has contacted CNN. That's all I know in regard to media contact.
There was a misunderstanding in regard to them having been out running errands. They had left them out when they went to work because it was the first nice day in a few weeks. The dogs had cabin fever and the lady was just trying to give them some time out to play.
The sheriffs department is thinking that probably it was a case of someone planning on breaking into the house and robbing them, so this probably would have happened even if they had been left inside.
I do not know if they would be willing to go on the news or not. If I remember right, the husband does not speak english real well and I don't know how they would feel about the public attention.

This is worse than tragic... It's simply incomprehensible.
Brett, do you know exactly where this happened? I can't find any media reports about it online and it needs to reach them NOW.
Do you think the family would be willing to speak on camera or are they too upset right now?
Please let me know. I have some media contacts that may be able to help.
Our thoughts are with you, Christine and the family.
Deirdre

This is terrible...
My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
