By now, you have likely heard of the case of a pit bull named Oreo. It has been widely reported by the New York press. Oreo was thrown off of a roof by a Brooklyn man named Fabian Henderson. Both of her front legs were shattered, and the ASPCA spent several months trying to save this dog and socialize her. Sadly, she was euthanized Friday after being deemed a danger to both people and other animals.
