POLICE DISCOVER DOG STUCK IN FENCE
At 9:02 p.m. July 5, officers were dispatched to the 3400 block of Otis Street in response to a cruelty to animals complaint. Dispatch said a dog had been left unattended for a period of time and had been barking for a couple of hours. Upon arrival, officers saw a 10-by-6-foot kennel made of chain link fencing with a dog bowl full of water. Officers saw a small dog with its feet stuck in the chain link fence. The dog was whimpering. The dog had not been cleaned or brushed in a long time, its hair was severely matted and it smelled of urine. The officers freed the dog's feet from the fence and noticed the dog had dog feces matted to its fur and was having problems with its front foot. The dog was transported it to the animal hospital. The owner was later contacted and she said she did not have the money to take care of the dog. The owner relinquished the dog to the Table Mountain Animal Center.

WINDOW SHOT AT AQUINO'S CAFÉ
At 3 p.m. July 3, police were dispatched to Aquino's Café, 7057 W. 38th Ave. The owner of the café said that sometime between a week and a half or two weeks ealier, the café's front glass window was "shot at." The owner said she was not notified of the damage until July 3. The owner said the shot left a .22-sized hole in the window and a large crack. The estimated damage was $400 to $500. A window at Minilla's Restaurant, 7000 W. 38th Ave., also had been shot out the previous week.
