A Good Day For Justice

Suspects accused of burning 'Justice' the puppy face trial together.

By: N Gilbert

DALLAS -
Four young man accused of setting a puppy on fire will face trial together, a Dallas County judge ruled Wednesday.

The four men are: Darius Ewing, 19; Richard Valentine, 25; Darius Carey, 25; and Adrian Ayers, 21.

Police and animal investigators say the four doused the pit bull mix with a flammable liquid and set the dog on fire this past April.

The puppy, later named "Justice," died a few days later after its burns became infected.

All four men are charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal. Because Justice was set on fire, the charges are 3rd-degree felonies and each could spend two to 10 years in prison.

Next court date will be March 18, 2013. Will keep you updated!

RIP sweet baby Justice! Always loved and never forgotten!! ♥

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
