'Miracle Puppy' Finally Has a Name

Clara City, Minn. - The ten-week-old pit bull, brittany spaniel mix finally has a name after she survived a deadly attack. 

Trisha Chapman sat with her two daughters in her new home Friday morning and decided to name their miracle puppy "Lucky Angel."  The name "Lucky" was the winner of the KSAX online poll, and the family decided to pair it with "Angel," because they say the puppy had an angel with her when she survived the attack.

The attack happened a couple weeks ago at Terence Schwartz's residence in Willmar, Minn.  According to Kandiyohi County Sheriff, Schwartz wanted the nine puppies off his property and took matters into his own hands.  He shot and killed eight of the nine puppies.  Lucky Angel is the sole survivor.

Lucky Angel is healthy and happy.  She's gained back almost all the weight she lost after the attack, and she was running around the house playing Friday morning.

Schwartz is being held in the Kandiyohi County Jail and will appear in court Monday.
