A family is devastated by dogs death after legs 'snapped' in violent burglary.
SHEBER'S barks usually greeted visitors the minute they stepped on the driveway of the Read family home.
But when close friend Kirsty Rogers arrived at the Tewson Road home in Camillo this morning, the first thing she noticed was the silence.
"There's no barking, there's no Sheber... Even the house feels different," she said.
Sheber had been home alone yesterday when burglars forced open the back door and started to ransack drawers in the house and stealing a camera.
Sheber, the dog that had both it rear legs broken during a burglary in Kelmscott.
Police say the burglars jumped the back fence - an activity that would have started Sheber barking.
When homeowner Tracey Read returned just before midday yesterday, she found the 15-year-old dog foaming at the mouth with both hind legs snapped.
"I heard her screaming down the road," Ms Rogers said.

"I went and checked Sheber's legs, and they crunched under my hands."
Trying to fix the dog would have cost $3500 – money the Reads don't have.
They made the tough decision to put her down.

Mrs Read, who got the dingo-kelpie cross as a puppy, was too distressed to talk this morning.
Her daughter, Sally, who lives at the house with her three children, said the family was devastated.
"She (Sheber) was like a little sister to me," Sally Read said.
"(The burglars) took bits and pieces, but we don't care about that.
"I don't want another pet now, because it's like losing a kid."
Ms Read said the people who fatally injured Sheber were "just ferals".
"I don't know how anyone could do that to an animal. They need to be brought to justice," she said.
A spokeswoman from WA Police said the burglary occurred between 9.30am and midday yesterday.
Forensics officers were at the home today.
Police and the RSPCA have made a public appeal for information.
"This is a horrific act of animal cruelty and we are urging anyone with any information to please contact us," RSPCA chief inspector Amanda Swift said.
Anyone who saw someone acting suspiciously in the area has been asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
