A lonely California man is mourning after his cat was beaten to death by a pit bull who overpowered its owners – who then fled the grisly crime scene.
Devastated Tootie Pootie owner Chris Fowler said the ordeal was traumatic – and is now demanding justice after the nine-year-old cat was vandalized by a dog on Magliocco Drive in San Jose.
Fowler let his cat out of his apartment for some fresh air on Saturday afternoon when a man, a girl and a large dog approached them in the street.
Footage showed the dog leaping forward and overpowering the girl who was holding her leash.
Fowler told KRON, “I have no family.” She went through some of the most difficult times of my life and meant a lot to me.
“She was my everything.” She was all I had. It’s traumatic.
“She was so sweet and innocent. It’s unfair how she died. I miss her.’
Heartbroken owner Chris Fowler said, “I have no family.” She has been through some of the toughest times of my life and means a lot to me.

“I was also bitten trying to free my pet from the dog’s mouth.
Of the handler, Fowler said, “He said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ Sorry, that’s not enough. “I want the pit bull owner to be held accountable and accountable for the actions of their animal.”
He said they fled the scene of the crime.

Fowler said the cat was humanely euthanized at the Veterinary Emergency Group.
He held his beloved cat one last time before her sad and untimely death.
San Jose Animal Care and Services said in a statement, “At this time, we have no information about the dog owner and the dog.”
“If the owner is found, they can be cited and ACS will start a dangerous dog hearing.”
The footage was released to help identify the owner and the dog. Fowler said he had never seen her in the neighborhood before.
