Terrible

Don't read any further if you're squeamish about animal cruelty (who isn't?). Both free papers had stories today that, near as I can tell with my limited German, are about how someone found a dog that had been abused and weighed down with heavy stones before being dropped in the Rhine. That's awful, but it's also awful that both papers felt an obligation to print a picture of the dead dog. Hopefully the point was to make people so angry that they turn in whoever was responsible. If Gretchen were here she'd be very upset, and I wouldn't blame her.
