Fullerton Girl, 14, Allegedly Poisons Her 2 Dogs

FULLERTON (AP) ― A 14-year-old girl in Fullerton allegedly lethally poisoned her family's two dogs following an argument with her parents over bad grades.

The girl was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and is in custody at Orange County's juvenile hall, Sgt. Mike MacDonald said.

Police say the girl fed her sister's medications to a Yorkie and a larger dog Sunday night after her parents left the house.

The dogs were in shock when the family returned later that night, and the pooches were rushed to a pet clinic, where they died.

Officers say the girl maintains she wasn't treated fairly when her parents told her Sunday afternoon they weren't happy with her grades.

The girl's name has not been released because of her age.
