Petersen and her husband, Terry, wanted to make sure they were going to return the dog home to its rightful owner so they took the mystery dog to the Apple Valley Animal Shelter to have its pet microchip scanned.

She thinks about all the possibilities that had to happen for him to come home and credits the Petersen family, the online sleuths and the animal shelter team who checked Havoc’s microchip.

Prosecutors said they did not have a motive for the killing of Ms Cordingley - a health store worker and animal shelter volunteer - and there was no evidence of a sexual assault.

Dozens of dogs were set loose from a San Bernardino animal shelter after someone broke into the facility armed with bolt cutters and broke the locks on multiple kennels, authorities said.

The state agency that oversees workplace safety has fined the city of Los Angeles $563,250 after finding that the severe mauling of a animal shelter worker resulted from “significant safety and training lapses” that put employees “in harm’s way.”
