NFL linebacker’s dogs kill neighbor’s pet
Four dogs owned by Arizona Cardinals linebacker Joey Porter got loose from his Bakersfield, Calif., residence over the Fourth of July weekend and killed a neighbor’s dog.
Porter was cited for not having the dogs on a leash, county Animal Control spokeswoman Kim Rodriguez told the Bakersfield Californian. She said it was unclear how the dogs got out of their kennel.
Porter’s dogs were large and appeared to be half mastiff, half pit bull, she said.
Rodriguez said she doesn’t know what kind of arrangement Porter reached with the neighbor whose dog was killed.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, two of Porter’s dogs got loose from his home in Pennsylvania in 2006 and killed a miniature horse on a nearby farm.
