Days after two dangerous dogs attacked a pet on a walk in a South Miami-Dade neighborhood, a woman said those same canines killed her beloved pet.

Speaking with 7News on Thursday, Tanatha Cooks remains heartbroken about the violent death of her dog Hank, who used to belong to her mother.

“Hank was my mom’s favorite, favorite, favorite person, and the last piece of her is gone,” she said. “My mom died on November 19th, 2022, so two years later, her dog died. It was devastating.”
