Abandoned puppy found in Mass. euthanized, police investigate as animal cruelty
Police have been investigating an animal cruelty case in which two puppies were found abandoned in Randolph earlier this month, according to police. One of the puppies was in such bad condition that veterinarians decided to euthanize it. On the evening of Aug. 1, a passerby found two puppies abandoned along a walkway between the Martin E. Young Elementary School on Lou Courtney Drive and Barbara Road, Randolph police said in a press release. The passerby quickly notified police, and the puppies — a male and female around 11 weeks old — were immediately taken to VCA Weymouth. 'Unfortunately, shortly after arrival, it was determined that due to the extent of the condition of the male puppy, the most compassionate recourse was to provide him with a peaceful passing,' police wrote. Randolph police are now asking the public to help them identify 'the individual(s) responsible for dumping these helpless dogs,' the police department wrote. Investigators believe the suspects are likely basement breeders who live in Randolph or a neighboring community. The puppies are of mixed breed — possibly some sort of shepherd or hound mix — and have 'a distinct black tail,' police said. The female puppy is not currently up for adoption. Randolph police are asking anyone who thinks they may have seen suspicious activity in the area on or around Aug. 1 or who knows of home breeders in the area that breed similar dogs to contact them. Those with information about the case are asked to call Detective Kevin Aldred at 781-963-1212, police said. Alternatively, you can submit an anonymous tip by texting 'Randolph' to 847411 or by downloading the Randolph Police Department application onto your Apple or Android phone. No further information about the case has been released.

Police K-9 stabbed during standoff after man robbed family member at knifepoint: KCKPD
SHAWNEE, Kan. — Kansas City, Kansas, police say a Shawnee police K-9 that was assisting during an overnight barricade/standoff call was stabbed and taken to a vet. KCKPD said officers responded to the call just east of 10th and Riverview at 3:45 a.m. Police said someone called 911 after a family member armed with a knife came back to the home following an assault. Expired temp tags about to be a thing of the past in Missouri Investigators said the suspect barricaded himself, leading to a standoff. Shawnee police sent K-9 Officer Dagger to help – but when officers tried to arrest the suspect, he stabbed the K-9. 'The K-9 handler actually saw the suspect; everything he observed, [it] appeared that he was not armed,' KCKPD Officer Thomas Tomasic told FOX4. 'So, they sent the dog in. When the dog approached, the dog was stabbed. [Officers] pulled the dog out, and that's when we set up an official barricade on the suspect.' KCKPD said the suspect surrendered at 7:30 a.m. and was arrested after robbing a family member. 'A family member had robbed another family member at knifepoint,' Tomasic said. 'The dog was wearing its protective gear, but it was stabbed in the neck area. So the vest would not have protected the dog from that.' Police said K-9 Officer Dagger was taken to a veterinary clinic and is expected to fully recover. A spokesperson for the police department said they're grateful Dagger is healing, and they appreciate all support and well wishes. : Dagger, Draco and Marx. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
