More dog show competitors may be sick from poison

The case of the murdered canine, Jagger, could be expanding. There are new reports of more dogs having fallen sick with what appears to be poisoning, but so far only one is dead, reports CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer.

The 3-year-old Irish red setter, whose real name is Satisfaction, died apparently after eating slug repellent-laced meat laced, just 24 hours after winning second place in his class in the prestigious Crufts dog show. It's a fiercely competitive event known for rivalry and back-biting.

So was it murder?

Crufts said they're investigating and their statement says: "As with any international competition, rumors of sabotage do occasionally surface. This of course is not in the spirit of competition and will not be tolerated."

The scandal has rocked the dog-eat-dog world of canine competition at Crufts. In the past, some participants have been criticized for inbreeding and other kinds of mistreatment. Now, speculation and rumor is running wild over whodunit: Animal rights activists or maybe a jealous opponent?

Jagger's owners have tried to defuse the suspicion.

"I therefore need you all to know, that we can't and we won't think that this was an act of another exhibitor," Jagger's co-owner Dee Milligan-Bott said.

Jagger was a winner in the dog show ring and a beloved pet, but solving the crime won't bring him back.
