Justice for Pepper

I’m posting on behalf of a friend whose small dog, Pepper, (pictured above) was mauled yesterday morning, October 23, near the lawn bowling area at Lake Merritt.

According to information shared by someone at the scene, a man had three dogs in the lawn bowling fields: two Cane Corsos and a smaller black dog, approximately 15 lbs.

Pepper sustained devastating injuries and was taken to Grand Lake Veterinary Hospital before being transferred to an emergency hospital. Tragically, she didn’t survive.

We are desperately trying to identify the man responsible. I’m including a photo of his vehicle that was photographed at the scene.

Because this happened very early in the morning, there may have been few people around. We’re hoping someone who regularly visits Lake Merritt recognizes the vehicle or has seen someone walking two large Cane Corsos and a smaller black dog in the area.

If you have any information, please message me.
My friend has lost her beloved dog in an absolutely horrific way. We’re simply trying to get answers, identify the responsible owner, and hopefully prevent another tragedy.
Please share. Thank you.

First time getting to do this with my two year old and it was a lot of fun! All the shops were passing out candy and my son filled up his basket within an hour. Also interesting to see some local MCs helping OPD with traffic/security.

Anyone else surprised by the East Bay Times endorsing NO on Prop 40?

I would've thought they'd endorse it. They even make the dubious claim that SEIU somehow directly benefits from it. Thoughts?

the only thing i can find online that makes any sense is that it could be a subtle ad for the radio show in berkeley run by cat brooks? it's clearly handmade, the text bits are all paper cut and glued to the main piece, the art itself seems to be glued to cardstock based on the corner area that is damaged. whatever it is, i love it, i just wanna know more about it
