'Emotional Support' Pit Bull Kills Cat In Dedham Apartment

DEDHAM, MA — A cat inside a Dedham apartment was the victim of a fatal attack by a pit bull.

Resident Jane Regan told WBZ that the dog ran into her apartment, cornered her cat Gem, and killed her in gruesome fashion.

She said she was outside with her daughter and grandchild when the collar-less pit bull went across her patio and into the apartment where the cat was located.

The apartment complex, Avalon Station 250, has no strict policy on pit bulls and allowed the dog to stay as an an emotional support animal. The pit bull has since been removed from the apartment complex.

The incident is under police investigation.
