Rottweiler Found Shot To Death In Cemetery - Pa.
If you have any information, you're asked to call Collingdale police at 610-586-0502.
COLLINGDALE, Pa. - A Rottweiler dog was found shot to death laying on a patch of grass at the Mt. Zion Cemetery in Collingdale Tuesday evening.
According to the Collingdale Police Department, officers were called to the cemetery at 5:30 p.m., where they found the dog laying in an area toward the back of the cemetery with a dog treat just inches away from its mouth.
Police report noticing a wound to the top of the dog's head. An empty shell casing and a live round were found seven feet away.
A microchip embedded in the dog helped police and Delaware County Animal Control investigators to trace the dog's last registered owner, a resident who lived on Chestnut Street in Collingdale.
Investigators say injuries to the dog led them to believe it was either used as a bait dog for fighting or a fighting dog.
A person interviewed by police described the dog as being friendly.
Police are now searching for the dog's last owner, who they believe to be named Paul Henderson.
If you have any information, you're asked to call Collingdale police at 610-586-0502.

PA - Puppy lemon law may get new teeth - April 14, 2011
Puppy lemon law may get new teeth. The Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee voted to send a bill (SB27) strengthening the state's 14-year-old puppy lemon law to the Senate floor. The bill, which failed to get a vote last session, comes in response to ongoing complaints about consumers buying sick dogs from breeders and pet stores. Sen. Stewart Greenleaf’s bill would strengthen the law in a number of ways in order to better help consumers recover losses from a seller of a sick dog.

Stewart Greenleaf’s bill would strengthen the law in a number of ways in order to better help consumers recover losses from a seller of a sick dog.
Here's what it does: Extends a consumer’s right to seek reimbursement under the Puppy Lemon Law for incurable as well as curable illnesses. Medical conditions such as hip dysplasia would now be covered.
Extend from 30 to 90 days the time period in which a congenital condition may be certified by a vet in order to recover any losses from a seller. Also, the time period for a veterinarian to certify an illness is extended from 10 to 14 days.
The definition of “unfit for purchase” currently means any disease, deformity, injury, physical condition, illness or any defect which is congenital or hereditary and which “severely affects” the health of the animal. The bill replaces “severely affects” with “a significant adverse effect on” the health of the animal. Greenleaf (R., Montgomery) says by ensuring the health of dogs that are sold in Pennsylvania the bill will help crack down on puppy mills.
