TAMPA --
Last month, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office received an anonymous call about three shots fired and a dog possibly buried in the backyard of a Clair-Mel City vacant home.
When investigators arrived at the home, 3221 Deerfield Dr., Tampa, they found a 2-year-old female pit bull mix buried up to its nose. A Hillsborough County Animal Services animal control officer used her hands to dig the dog out.
The dog had been shot twice and was bleeding profusely, said Pam Perry, an Animal Services investigations manager.
"For her to even be alive when the officer got there is a miracle," Perry said.

Ping for great irony on thread.
Shooter was all out of anti-freeze?
(That’ll get any dog-killer’s goat.)
Hamburger’s getting too expensive.
Bullets are cheaper.

I was out with the cats on our own property. They are trained to come in when I come in. The dog just came out of no where and its’ always the same Pit that the owners let loose, regardless of the leash law. That pit mauled the kitty it was 8 weeks old.
I am sorry about your kitten.
But what does that have to do with the heinous acts by a human in this story? You couldn’t possibly be justifying burying a dog alive? Dogs kill cats as part of their nature. They are animals. This story is about a human acting like an animal.
As I said, I am not justifying the Pitt being loose, but an 8 week old kitten is a little young to be out unless you live on a farm or rural area.
