The St. Louis Police were called out to the 4700 block of Hammett Place to respond to reports of a female, chocolate-colored puppy being rescued from a dumpster left to die Thursday night. The caller heard the dog whimpering as they were passing by.
“We’re very pleased. I’ve seen a lot of the evidence in this case, and from what I’ve seen, they definitely made the right decision,” said attorney Alyson Antoon. “The evidence was overwhelming.”
Miguel Angel Palacios died defending Jerry, a miniature Pinscher, from 33-year-old Jesús Antonio Castaño, who was drunk and threatened to sever the dog's head with a machete.
