Rexburg - We've received some shocking photos of a matted dog in St. Anthony.

Check this out... You can't even tell that this is a dog because it's so matted.

A full 9 pounds of hair were shaved off the shitzu.

Police Chief Jim Smith tells Eyewitness News that he met with adult protective services in conjunction with the dog's owners at noon today.

Deb Coleman with the Upper Valley Humane Society tells Eyewitness News that in 30 years of animal rescue, she has never seen a case of matting worse than this.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
