Jamie Markovich was in tears Wednesday, recounting the harrowing ordeal her dog Nikko went through, when three children, aged five, seven and twelve allegedly stabbed at him through a hole in the fence in his backyard in Youngstown.

"The whole situation is just very disturbing," Markovich said.
An innocent animal not doing anything wrong on their own property in a fenced-in yard, to be viscously attacked by children, it's just...I'm in disbelief," she said.

Nikko, who was leashed, couldn't get away and suffered some pretty serious injuries.

to their parents and told them exactly what they had done. Both sets of parents were upset, but who knows if they actually did anything.

Today, I would probably have been sued or arrested myself for "touching" those little creeps--even though I did nothing to hurt them.

more than a "slap on the wrist" by the judge.
They need to be held accountable for their cruelty to an innocent animal not bothering anyone in his own yard.
