Eight days in and a push to curb dog fighting is already working. Just this past week, two dogs that showed signs of abuse wound up in the custody of the Humane Society.

Humane Society officials responded to a tip on Wednesday and found the two animals engaged in combat at 28th and Bristol. The question is whether they were encouraged to fight.

The Humane Society tells us it sees evidence of dog fighting every day and that's tough for some dog owners to believe.

Donte Longcrowe's two-year-old Doberman, Gwen, is just like a member of the family.

Longcrowe says, "I am getting attached to her very much. She's a good house dog. Ain't no need to fight her, none whatsoever."

But there are others who are not so fond of their dogs and the animals taken by Humane Society investigators Wednesday had scars and were in need of medical attention.

The Humane Society's Pam Weise says, "Our investigators are headed back there talking to neighbors and some people that apparently witnessed what went on to see if there was organized dog fighting or if, as the gentleman said, the animals were aggressive towards each other and ended up getting into an unprovoked dog fight, which can happen."

The Humane Society says it is important to get tips from the public because its officers can't be everywhere. The number to report this kind of activity is 444-7800, extension 1. You don't have to give your name and you could earn a reward of up to $1,000.
