Police: Dog brutally attacked before Utica triple murder

NEW YORK -- A dog that was found injured in the Utica home where three people were killed is currently being treated at a Madison County vet.

Paul Morgan, Executive Director of the CNY SPCA says the dog was barely breathing when he was found. He suffered a broken jaw and severe brain trauma. The animal has also been suffering from seizures.

Police believe Paul Bumbolo attacked the dog before allegedly killing three of his relatives in the Whitesboro Street home.

Anyone looking to donate in honor of the dog can contact the SPCA at 315-454-4479, or visit their website.
