Another case of animal abuse in New Bedford as two more dogs were left exposed to the extreme heat Sunday by their owner.

Officials say two baby raccoons were spotted with the animal that tested positive and only one has been caught.

A skunk got its entire head stuck inside a can of Bud Light.

A fox that officials believe was responsible for two attacks earlier this week has been found and killed.

Middleborough Police report on where things stand with today's search for a fox that is believed to have attacked two people late last night and this morning.

The little intruder has been apprehended and is currently detained.

UPDATE: Freetown Animal Control tells us the owner of the emus has been located, and they have been returned home.

Two severely malnourished dogs have been rescued from a home in Rochester, and a man has been charged with their neglect.

New Bedford Animal Control Officer Manny Maciel says breed-specific legislation against pit bulls is not the answer in the wake of the recent killing of a 7-year-old boy by two of the dogs.

With all that's going on in New Bedford these days, it's no surprise that the city is getting its fair share of visitors. Many want to come to enjoy the city's picturesque shorelines. But one visitor on Wednesday actually came out of the water to do so...
