Baytown, TX – A dog named Zeke died in his family’s home after the neighbor’s dog entered through a dog door and killed him. As reported by Fox Houston, the horrifying incident happened on Dec. 6.

Enjoli Richardson describes the gutwrenching scene:

“My house looks like a crime scene. There’s blood from one end of the house to the other.”

The neighbor’s dog was still in the house when the family came home – the dog was lying in the corner not far from Zeke’s body.

The family’s other two dogs were in crates during the fatal ordeal…watching the bloodbath that took place right in front of them.

According to Richardson, the neighbors came to retrieve their dog; the dog was not seized by animal control and remains at home.

The Harris County Animal Control investigated and determined that no laws were broken.

The neighbors claim that it was Zeke who broke through a fence board, allowing their dog to enter the yard. Harris County Public Health issued a statement to the news agency, which reads in part:

Unfortunately, there is no current state or local law that penalizes an owner of a dog that attacks or kills another animal. The Dangerous Dog Law applies to humans who have been attacked by a dog or to a dog whose unprovoked behavior may reasonably be deemed dangerous. A victim will need to file a Dangerous Dog affidavit through a Justice of the Peace in unincorporated Harris County to initiate the legal process, if they wish to do so.
