Virginia Campbell charged with cruelty after stabbing neighbor's dog to death

PENNSYLVANIA -- Virginia Campbell was charged Monday with stabbing her neighbor's 15-year-old Pomeranian three times during a burglary May 5 along Cannell Drive. The dog, nicknamed "Deanz," was euthanized following the incident.

Police said Campbell originally called in reports of a burglary, saying that someone broke into her apartment first.

WJAC-TV spoke last week with Campbell, who said she was mad that everyone was focusing on the dog and not her apartment, which she said had been burglarized.

According to the criminal complaint, Campbell told several people that she made up the burglary story and killed the dog.
