A Catalina Foothills grieves the loss of a 4-H award-winning cow, after a brutal dog attack on livestock leaves one dead, and two injured
TUCSON, Ariz. — A sudden spike in dog attacks in the Catalina area has left residents fearing the safety of their livestock."At roughly around 4:30 in the morning, my wife went up to make sure our daughter was up, and they heard the cows yelling from inside the house. Which is very unusual, so they knew something was wrong," said John Sparlin, livestock owner."The two calves were yelling. She saw the two yellow-ish dogs in the first pen with Cupcake.
"To come out to animals that you care for and love for, to be injured in such a horrific way is just heartbreaking," John said.One cow was found in a feeder, attempting to escape the dogs."We had to literally cut the metal feeder apart to get the third cow out. But they attacked her in there so her right side is banged up pretty bad," he explained."They were able to get here in time to save at least two of the cows.
For their daughter, Isabelle Sparlin, these animals were her pride and joy — award-winning 4-H dairy cows.
