SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend residents outraged by a dog's shooting death during a home robbery are collecting reward money they hope leads to the arrest of the dog's killer.
Residents have collected more than $1,000 for two reward funds seeking information leading to the arrest of Linus' killer. Owner Dan Warner found his ailing, three-legged Old English sheepdog shot dead when he returned home from work Nov. 9.

The 8-year-old dog had recently lost a front leg while fighting bone cancer.
Gina Oliver created one of the reward funds after reading about the disturbing crime. She says the robbers "crossed a line that no one should ever cross."
South Bend Police Capt. Phil Trent says police are making progress in the case but processing physical evidence will take several weeks.
