Salt Lake County sheriff’s deputies have booked a 17-year-old boy into a juvenile detention center and are questioning another teen in connection with a burglary and beating last month that left a small dog clinging to its life. In August, the Kunz family, of Riverton, returned from a vacation to Yellowstone National Park to find their only pet, Ranger, beaten and lying in a pool of his blood after an apparent burglary. The dog - a 2 1/2 -year-old, 13-pound cocker spaniel-poodle mix (or “cockapoo”) - was in the middle of a seizure when the family returned on Aug. The family did not find a weapon and suspected Ranger had gotten inside after the burglars had broken in, then abused the dog with their hands and possibly picked him up and thrown him. read more
