The puppies fell into the water and were panicking, crying as they tried to make their way back to dry land.

The situation wasn't resolved until firefighters arrived and used sirens, firefighting tools, a taser and OC spray.

The firefighter climbed up the ladder, peered into the water tower and found something - but it wasn't human.

'Concerned parents called a search and rescue after the troop did not exit after several hours from the estimated time.'

'It’s hard to imagine why someone would commit such a terrible crime and cause so much suffering and pain.'

Officials followed the dogs inside the home after seeing blood on the dog door and dispatched both animals.

The woman responsible for the hoard had the nickname 'Snow White' because of her love of animals - but something went wrong.

Pouched rats are small, intelligent rodents who are easy to train and live up to 8 years, making them ideal subjects for this new endeavor.

She ran up to a home and started banging on the door, covered in dirt, terrified, with pieces of duct tape still clinging to her.

The man is a known danger in the area; people have been sharing their stories of similar incidents going back to 2019.
