Dog thief affects child's life

Carol Matney is like most mothers who would do anything for their child. Her son, 10 year old Shane, has cerebral palsy and suffers from seizures. Carol says Shane has been on the brink of death several times in his short life. He's set to undergo surgery right after Christmas.

Carol says one of the family dogs, Max, a boxer was special to Shane. She says he was Shane's constant companion and he seemed to have an uncanny ability to to calm his seizures. Her nine year old daughter says she saw three teenage boys snatch the dog from their front yard a month ago.

She is offering a reward for any information that leads to the return of the dog. Please call (502) 859-5500 or the Anderson County Sheriffs Department.
