A gruesome case of animal abuse leaves two pitbulls in Springfield dead. Animal Control and Springfield Police are working together to piece together the bizarre puzzle that unfolded at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

They aren't sure who is responsible, but they say the dogs were found in the backyard of a home at 529 Union Street badly stabbed.

Because the dogs' injuries were so severe, the animals had to be put asleep.
