Owner Ordered To Give Up 3 Hunting Dogs That Terrorized Ashburn Block

The dogs mauled neighbor Lakesha Brown's Shih Tzu, Rocky, to death and trapped residents in their homes.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Security cameras captured three white Dogo Argentino hunting dogs roaming near 81st Street and Artesian Avenue in the Ashburn neighborhood back in November. The dogs mauled neighbor Lakesha Brown’s Shih Tzu, Rocky, to death, and trapped residents in their homes as they terrorized the block for nearly an hour.

In doorbell video, the hunting dogs are seen coming back across the street — with Rocky’s blood visible on their faces. Even when police arrived, officers would not get out of their squad car with the hunting dogs still running around.
