Jamie Markovich was in tears Wednesday, recounting the harrowing ordeal her dog Nikko went through, when three children, aged five, seven and twelve allegedly stabbed at him through a hole in the fence in his backyard in Youngstown.

"The whole situation is just very disturbing," Markovich said.
An innocent animal not doing anything wrong on their own property in a fenced-in yard, to be viscously attacked by children, it's just...I'm in disbelief," she said.

Nikko, who was leashed, couldn't get away and suffered some pretty serious injuries.
