Overview

  • Two Yorkshire Terriers, Bogie and Tommy, were killed on Heather Lane, and their 74-year-old owner was treated for cuts and given a tetanus shot.
  • The attacking dogs allegedly escaped a fenced yard across the street, with owner Jordan Marsala saying a lawn crew left his gate open.
  • Streamwood police cited Marsala for dogs at large and expired vaccinations, with a court appearance set for Oct. 7 in Rolling Meadows.
  • The dogs were taken to an animal center for a 10-day rabies observation, and it remains unclear whether they will be returned.
  • The Quatrino family says it plans civil action and reports ongoing fear following the attack.
