Reba the bulldog sadly made national headlines in July, when she was left in a sealed plastic container, in the severe Las Vegas triple digit heat.

Residents of Las Vegas, and far beyond, were outraged. Rewards were offered in finding who did this to a poor, helpless animal. Well, that might finally be happening.

Video Shows Possible Suspects In Reba The Bulldog's Death

New security footage has been obtained by several news outlets in Las Vegas. The footage shows a car, and people who could be possible suspects. Reba tragically passed away, after being found in that sealed plastic container 

It's a story that has been on the minds of the Las Vegas community since it happened. But until now, there has not been an arrest.

The new video shows a man and a woman, driving a white four-door sedan and parking where the container, and Reba, were located. The car pulls in behind the Vons grocery store near Maryland Parkway and Katie, and then parks in the same area where the container Reba was trapped in, was found.

The video also shows two people outside that car handling a container that very clearly has a black and red top. The same type container Reba was found in.

Las Vegas Wants Answers For Reba

Sweet Reba the bulldog was found on July 25 She was taken by a local rescue that was called, to a veterinary hospital where she was given fluids, medication - and a lot of love. But she just couldn't make it after being left in the heat, and being so dehydrated.

When people heard the news of the horrific incident, the Las Vegas community came together. Billboards were placed throughout Las Vegas, and a $50,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. Big Dog Ranch, a rescue organization in Florida, pitched in to bring private investigators into the case.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department dedicated extra resources to the case, and Big Dog Ranch, a rescue organization out of Florida, donated to bring private investigators into the case.

The investigation into Reba's death is still ongoing, so if you have any information that could help police find the horrible monsters (my words) responsible, please call LVMPD. Or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers: 702-385-5555.

Las Vegas Aviators Bat Dog Given Gold Bat For Retirement

The Las Vegas Aviators, Finn the Bat dog, has retired. And what a send off!

Las Vegas Aviators Bat Dog, Finn, Hangs Up His Cleats

I went to the Las Vegas Aviators game Friday night, and I'm happy I did. It was Finn the Bat Dog's last game. It was nothing less than heartwarming - and a lot of fun.

I saw several of Finn's first games, as a rookie bat dog, at Cashman Field, with the (then) Las Vegas 51's. It was quite novel, and fans - especially me - LOVED watching this happy black labrador retriever grab the bat after an at bat, and bring it back to the dugout.

The Las Vegas Aviators are gave out really nice, Finn the Bat Dog jerseys to the first 2000 fans who showed up. And FInn threw out - ok, ran out - the first pitch. And it was perfect. right in the catchers mitt! He also posed with photos with fans, on the field, and off. A very busy night for the bat dog that people grew to love.

Finn joined the club in 2016. He only "worked" a few games. But he became so popular that he started working more games. When the team moved to the new Las Vegas Ballpark Finn moved too.

When the Aviators moved from Cashman Field, Finn was given his own locker room at Las Vegas Ballpark. It had a shower, to keep him cool during those hot summer months, and it also had a TV. Now I don't know what he watched, but good for him!

Finn had another part-time bat dog pal. Lambo worked alongside Finn for a short while, but Lambo has since moved to a permanent bat dog position with the Reno Aces.

Finn and Lambo were both rescues. A big thank you to Trainer Fred Hassen, and his Sit Means Sit Dog Training. He trained both dogs, who are absolutely beautiful dogs - at work and play. I personally a few people who went to the game just to see the bat dog(s).

Finn worked his last game. Often when people retired, the tradition was to give them a gold watch. Finn was given a gold bat. May he enjoy retrieving it - at his leisure - throughout the rest of his retirement!

Finn worked his final game at Las Vegas Ballpark, on Friday, April 19. The Aviators gave him an 11-7 win over The Tacoma Raniers. What a great send off for a beautiful dog!

Finn, The Las Vegas Aviators Bat Dog, got a lot of screen time for his last game on the field. The crowd of 8000 plus went nuts anytime Finn was on the field. He worked the first couple innings, then slipped into retirement. And hopefully a nice staycation.
