In a dark, dingy trailer littered with animal feces, four pit bulls tore into one of their own, stopping only after puncturing the unfortunate dog’s heart.

“He was dead even before we pulled him out,” said Mark Estrada, an animal welfare investigator sent to the trailer in south suburban Robbins last week to rescue the dogs inside.

As Estrada and other investigators explored further, they found a female dog protecting a lumpy pile of blankets tucked under a bed.

One investigator pulled back the blankets to reveal five female Staffordshire terrier puppies — each just a few weeks old and all seemingly healthy.

I see this happened in Robbins, IL. I can almost guarantee you those pups would've ended up being trained for fighting.

They're safe & sound at the Chicago Ridge Animal Shelter now - it's where I volunteered for many years. They'll take good care of those pups and make sure they end up in good homes.

Those poor dogs and puppies! They deserve so much better and their owner deserves jail time!

I'm with Mary. :mad:

I've had pits, and I still love the breed, but confining untrained dogs of any kind in a small space is only asking for trouble.

What a good mom these babies had. So glad they're safe now.
