Jamie Markovich was in tears Wednesday, recounting the harrowing ordeal her dog Nikko went through, when three children, aged five, seven and twelve allegedly stabbed at him through a hole in the fence in his backyard in Youngstown.

"The whole situation is just very disturbing," Markovich said.
An innocent animal not doing anything wrong on their own property in a fenced-in yard, to be viscously attacked by children, it's just...I'm in disbelief," she said.

Nikko, who was leashed, couldn't get away and suffered some pretty serious injuries.

10. I caught kids throwing rocks at my dog through the fence years ago. I grabbed both kids and took them home

to their parents and told them exactly what they had done. Both sets of parents were upset, but who knows if they actually did anything.

Today, I would probably have been sued or arrested myself for "touching" those little creeps--even though I did nothing to hurt them.

11. I'm old, no kids and all my assets are in a trust. IDGAF and I LOVE my dog. nt

Psychiatric care until they are 18. Enforced.

6. These kids need some counseling and about 40 hours working at an animal shelter. Never too young to learn

7. 200 hours working at an animal shelter, even for the 5-year-old, would be better.

Make them clean up the dogshit too + 6 months of therapy with a psychiatrist specializing in abnormal psychology for children (paid for by their parents)

[Deuxcents]

8. Yep. That's what I'm talking about! Put some teeth into that sentence..don't let let get away with a lecture

Link in the OP.

more than a "slap on the wrist" by the judge.
They need to be held accountable for their cruelty to an innocent animal not bothering anyone in his own yard.
