2 dogs kill pet cat; dogs' owner dumps dead cat on front lawn

VENICE, Calif. -- A pet owner and an entire neighborhood are outraged after a pair of dogs attacked and killed Sally, a beloved family cat.

The residents said police have done nothing about the gruesome and disturbing attack, which happened Sunday.

Sally's final moments were caught on surveillance video that day. The beloved pet gets some love from a woman walking by, and she's seen wandering around the driveway of her home.

But moments later, she is scared off by a pair of dogs across the street. The dogs then drag their owner across the street toward Sally on her owner's driveway, and the duo attack her.

"We hear a commotion and we turn back and the dog had the cat in its mouth," witness and neighbor Linda Narvaez said. "It was a struggle. It was terrible. I've been thinking about it since it happened."

The cat manages to get away and then runs across the street, but again the man cannot control the two dogs and he is dragged across the street with them. They attack Sally again, this time killing her. Her lifeless body is left on the sidewalk.

Lou Parra said he and his family are heartbroken. They've had Sally for 12 years.

"[The attack] devastated everybody. Devastated my wife, devastated the people that live in this house, devastated my daughter. It's turned our world upside down," Parra said.

What happens at the end of the video is even more gruesome. The owner of the two dogs takes them home and comes back a few moments later to pick up Sally.

He then brings her to Parra's front yard and simply dumps the dead cat on the lawn.

"Both of them should be put down, and that man should be in jail," Parra said.

Authorities were called, but Parra said he was told because the man appears to be trying to control his dogs and it was his cat who was attacked and not a child that the man will not be charged.

But a neighbor, who did not want to go on camera, told Eyewitness News what the dogs' owner had told her.

"He told me that he had rescued the dogs from being put down. And I asked why they were going to put down, and he said that they had killed another animal," she said.

The neighborhood is worried that next time it may not be an animal that gets hurt.

"I have a child, and I fear for her life. I fear for the children's lives around here," Parra said.
