Stubby was a puppy — a small, short-legged black dog with a gentle face. In early February 2025, someone shot him twice in the head and left him to die alone in the freezing cold in the Charleston, WV area.

He was found and rushed to emergency veterinary care, but he did not survive surgery.

The Charleston Police Department is actively investigating.
