The man accused beating Oreo the dog and throwing her from the roof of a Red Hook building this summer failed to show up to his sentencing hearing on Tuesday. After initially pleading not guilty, Fabian Henderson, 20, changed his mind and pleaded guilty last month to aggravated animal assault for hurling the 1-year-old pit bull six stories. more ›

There was a lot of attention, blame and heated sentiments exchanged last week over the little-dog-that-almost-could, Oreo. The pit bull mix survived being thrown off a six-story building in Red Hook last summer only to be euthanized last week. The abused dog was deemed to be too dangerous to live out her life in the company of other animals or humans by ASPCA, the organization that helped the dog recuperate after the fall. more ›

A sad story appears to be coming to an even sadder end: Oreo, the pit bull mix who survived being thrown off the roof of a 6-story Brooklyn building, is being euthanized today. According to the NY Times, "Oreo was almost impossible to control once her injuries healed, [ASPCA President Ed Sayres] said. Other officials from the society said Oreo had shown extreme aggressiveness during several behavioral examinations: growling, lunging and trying to bite people who came too close." [Update below: Oreo was euthanized this afternoon.] more ›

Everyone is rooting for Oreo, the 1-year-old dog that was allegedly thrown off the roof of a Brooklyn housing project by a 19-year-old. The Daily News says its readers have been emailing, asking if the dog has been adopted yet; one hopeful reader wrote, "Oreo surviving was an absolute miracle and we believe she survived for a reason and would love to help raise her in a loving home. [We] have a big yard for her to run around in." more ›

This is amazing (and sad): A one-year-old black-and-white terrier mix was apparently thrown off a Brooklyn apartment building—and survived. Neighbors called the ASPCA about the dog, who took her to a vet. The pup, named Oreo for her coloring, then underwent surgery at the ASPCA hospital, where vets repaired all of her limbs "with plates and screws. She also suffered internal bruising and damage to her lungs," according to the Post. more ›
