He was very special.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A surveillance camera captured an image of the attacker, but none of the neighbors could identify the dog or the dog\u2019s owner. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The attack, while Carlos Arellano was walking \u201cBiscuit\u201d last week, caused serious internal injuries that later forced the family to choose a humane death. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cHe needs justice, my little dog, he needs justice, and we do too,\u201d Elizabeth Arellano said. \u201cWe would be a lot happier if he was still here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2025 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Brett Knese\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/d3b079d0-0444-499b-8cb7-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Brett Knese<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Brett Knese joined the Local 10 News team as a general assignment reporter in March 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0December 16, 2025 at 6:11 PM Updated:\u00a0December 16, 2025 at 6:20 PM Pompano Beach families demands actions after&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-86002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
