CENTRALIA – Someone set fire to a headless dog carcass in downtown Centralia.
“There was a dog that was on fire, it was put out by responders,” Riverside Fire Authority Capt. Erik Olson said. Police are handling the investigation, he said.
Firefighters and police were called about 1:20 a.m. yesterday to the scene, near the railroad tracks at Walnut Street.
Centralia area resident Jennifer Yocum was nearby at a friend’s home when the fire trucks arrived.
“We thought, oh, something’s on fire, it smells horrible,” Yocom said.
It was a large dog, that looked like it had black short hair, with some burned clothing or something similar next to it, Yocom said.
Centralia Police Department Sgt. Kurt Reichert said it appeared the dog must have already been decapitated and dead before it and some debris around it were lit on fire. He didn’t know where it came from.
Yocom was dismayed this afternoon to see the animal still lay in between the two sets of railroad tracks. Further details were not readily available today.

It was malicious and disturbing. These dog murderers need to be found and put down. It takes a special kind of psycho for something like this.
Fucking sick. Even if it was already dead, it takes a special kind of disturbed, pukebag, piece of shit to do something like this
The dog WAS hit by a train. The train conductor saw it and it had been there for a couple days before some idiot decided to light it on fire. He said it looked like a brown and white pitbull!!
Kurt, all I can say is that I hate you too. Me and you should get together and throw a hate party! Then we can call all the boys and girls who walk by names like “poopy head” , “doo doo brains” , and your all-time favorite word of all, “Idiot!”.
quite possibly hit by train?? I’d sure like to hope we dont have a jeffery Dahlmer growing in our towns… but next to r/r tracks.. id hope only that it got hit by train.. but why set it on fire.? and why is it still there ! 🙁
