HOLTS SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) — A mid-Missouri family is seeking help from police and the public in finding the person who beat their dog to death.

Shannon and Reece Fewins told The Fulton Sun their 150-pound American bulldog was beaten last week while chained in their front yard. The dog, Mojo, died a few hours later.

The family reported the incident to the Callaway County Sheriff's Department. They also passed out more than 100 fliers around Holts Summit and Jefferson City.

The family is offering a cash reward to anyone who can give them information that will lead to an arrest.

DOGS DESERVE BETTER is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to freeing the chained dog, and bringing
our 'best friend' into the home and family.

Dogs Deserve Better, 2003 First Place Winner of the ASPCA/Chase Pet Protector Award, is a voice for chained and penned dogs, whose sadness speaks only through the eyes. As the days become years, many of these dogs sit, lay, eat, and defecate within the same 10-foot radius. Chained by the neck, they exist without respect, love, exercise, social interaction, and sometimes even basic nourishment. They live as prisoners, yet long to be pets.
