(Chicago Sun-Times) Bond was set on Saturday at $200,000 for a 4th-grade teacher charged with beating his dog to death early Friday at his Lake View home. As a special condition of the bail, 25-year-old Derek Fierro was also ordered not to possess or have any contact with any animals.
Fierro had adopted the dog from a pet rescue organization that took it in after it was removed from an abusive home.
