On Thursday, a woman from Troupe, Texas, asked her Facebook friends: "I
need someone to come shoot my dog, nobody here has the heart to do it!
We will provide the gun!" 
After seeing the post, Nicholas Pet Haven in
Tyler, Texas, put out an appeal to locate the woman, then contacted
Troup PD, who, assisted by Smith County Animal Control, had the dog
picked up.
It turns out, the dog is a 3-year-old Saint Bernard/English bulldog mix
named Cinnamon.
Animal control officers who picked up the dog said the woman told them she wanted it killed because she could no longer care for her and because the dog kept getting in the garbage. "It's devastating," said animal shelter coordinator Nanette Moss. "I work with these dogs every day. They are my life, and when she walked through my door it just broke my heart.
