BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is asking for community’s help in solving a disturbing animal cruelty case involving dog fighting in Merritt Island.

Sadly, the dog died overnight in the emergency vet office last night, according to BCSO.
Investigators believe the dog was a ‘bait dog’ for dog fighting. Dog fighters use bait dogs to let their game dogs practice mutilating another dog, without being harmed in the process.
