LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two high school students have been sentenced for their roles in the theft and torture of a rival high school's canine mascot.

Douglas Stumpf and Richard McDonald, both 18, were ordered Friday to perform community service at an animal shelter and write letters of apology to the dog's owner. Stumpf, whose pit bull mauled the mascot during a staged fight, also was sentenced to two days in jail and 60 days of house arrest.

"We think we've done justice," said Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ronald Bloxham.
