HUNTSVILLE - A video sent to the Huntsville Forester shows a sad scene at a local kennel recently charged with animal cruelty.

Submitted to the Huntsville Forester by an unnamed party, the video shows a sled dog, identified as Toast, lying dead in the Hidden Meadows kennel. Another dog , identified as Monroe, attempts to move Toast. The video was taken around the time some dogs had escaped from their enclosures and engaged in a fight. There were injuries to dogs who were later surrendered to the OSPCA.

Staff were not on site at the time of the escape and subsequent dog fight.

The kennel owner said she was surprised and saddened by the video and the death of the dog - a favourite. She assured the Forester that Monroe and Toast were quite friendly; it appears in the video that Monroe is trying to revive Toast.
