(CBS4) LONGMONT, Colo. Police in Longmont have few leads in a disturbing case of animal cruelty.
Someone killed Clarissa Garcia's four month old pit bull puppy, "Copper," then left his remains in her yard. The dog had been mutilated and decapitated.
"He was like family to us," Garcia said. "We've always had pit bulls and they've always been good to us."
It happened overnight on Nov. 12.
The family believes the suspect had to climb a fence to get into the yard.
Garcia said her other dogs almost always bark when someone approaches the house, but that night, she said the dogs were quiet.
"I just really want to find out who did it," Garcia said. "And why they did it."
Police believe whoever stole the puppy, butchered it somewhere else and came back to dump the animal's remains in Garcia's yard.
The Garcia family said they have not had any recent run-ins with anybody in their neighborhood.
Whoever killed the dog faces a felony charge of animal cruelty if caught. Anyone with information should call Longmont police.

How sad, I don't understand how anyone could do such a thing. I hope they find and prosecute whoever did this. Please keep us posted!
