EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — Andre Howliett is a warrior when it comes to tail-waggers.
“We had to cut all this out to get to them,” says East St. Louis Firefighter Lt. Andre Howliett. “How Mom got in there I have no idea.” It was Friday morning when a volunteer with gateway pet guardians stopped by the East St. Louis fire department. The group cares for strays on the streets of East St. Louis and had come across some abandoned puppies in a brush pile.
“Initially two maybe three puppies that we could see but they were so far back we couldn’t tell,” says Howliett. “We actually found eight of them.” The puppies` mother was found dead a block away near bond and 17, apparently mauled in a dog fight.
