>> it's a shame san francisco is such a dog friendly city. people love dogs so much. it's such a horrible end, but it's even worse if we just don't know what happened. >> a sudden, deadly attack in the city, named after the patron saint of animals. this family says they are utterly heartbroken by what happened to their pet. and tonight, unsure of what to do now. good evening. thank you for joining us. >> i'm dan ashley and i'm ama daetz, the small toy poodle named papaya was described as a smart and spunky little dog. >> you know, that old change when the dog walker they hired told them it was mauled to death by another dog at a public dog park in the city? >> abc seven news reporter j.r stone is hearing from the family and has the story. you'll see only on seven j.r. ama dan, the dog owner, and her mother spoke with me because they are hopeful that someone out there knows something. >> they can't believe that an owner would knowingly leave after their dog did something. so violent to another dog sadly, this is one of the last

videos ever taken of papaya, a nearly four year old toy poodle mauled to death by another dog in san francisco on tuesday. >> she was like everybody's friend. she loved everybody. like she woke up to her stupid little barbie theme song. and it was like papaya's world. and like to have her life end in such a tragic way. i think it's like like everyone knows their dog is going to die. everyone knows they're going to think that's going to be a moment for them. but it's like, not this way and not like not for this kind of dog. >> olga torres was papaya's owner mother, you name it, she says. the dog walker she hired picked up papaya at 11:13 a.m. tuesday, two hours later, she had received word that papaya was in critical condition at the vet's office, where they unsuccessfully tried to save her. olga says the dog walker told her they were at alemany boulevard dog park in san francisco when another dog attacked papaya. the dog walker told olga she didn't get

pictures. video or a great description, only saying the dog that attacked was big and shepherd looking, but maybe a mix. also saying the owner and dog immediately left. olga, who was wearing her papaya sweatshirt, fought back tears as we spoke with her. she's hoping that someone out there saw something that can help them find the dog in question. >> i see her in the hospital and it's just like believe all like, i walk. i walk inside my house and all her things are there and she's not. >> and i literally have dog food toys coming for her on friday. >> she's just such a smart, spunky little dog. and it's just it would be such a like it's such a horrible end, but like, it's even worse if we just don't know what happened here. >> she was not moving. i kept like asking her to wake up stupid. that's it. then i held

her in my hands and like she was motionless on the table, motionless. she was like a baby. >> olga and her mother, katarina are determined to get to the bottom of what happened. they filed a police statement and were waiting on an officer to file a report. when we spoke with them, they say what happened wasn't right and are hopeful the person involved here will have a change of heart. olga tells me that if this was just an accident but the owner had stuck around, she would certainly have more empathy and compassion. but to think that they just left is just upsetting. she's concerned that this dog, if this dog did this once, who's to say they wouldn't do it, wouldn't do it again to another dog or even a small child? and that is the concern. and that's why she's hopeful that someone comes forward here. >> just awful. what a sweet little dog. >> just a terrible thing to see the love there that they still had for this dog. >> they'll never get over it

happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black harris in houston, texas tonight. >> speaking at an event for sigma gamma rho, a historically black sorority. >> in this moment, we face a choice between two very different visions for our nation. one focused on the future, the other focused on the past. and we, in this room are fighting for the future. >> in front of the audience of black journalists. trump blaming harris for the surge of migrants crossing the southern border. >> i will tell you that coming coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs. you had the best. >> what exactly is a black job, sir? >> a black job is anybody that has a job. that's what it is. anybody that has a job. all right. >> harris responded, it was the same old show. >> the divisiveness and the disrespect. and let me just say

the american people deserve better. the american people deserve better. >> and the white house is calling trump's comments on harris's race repulsive and insulting, saying no one has the right to tell someone who they are. perry russom, abc news, washington. >> tomorrow, vice president harris will stay in texas to deliver the eulogy at the funeral for congresswoman sheila jackson lee. starting tomorrow, delegates of the democratic party will hold a virtual vote to choose their presidential nominee. vice president harris is the only one to have earned enough delegate support to qualify, so she's running unopposed. she's expected to announce her pick for vice president by the start of next week. >> all right. time to get a look at the weather as we look live over the heart of san francisco tonight, you can tell the so-called forecast has arrived early. but for other parts of the bay area, the heat is moving back in. and abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian is tracking it for us, checking

in with our 24 hour accuweather forecast. spencer all right. >> dan well, tomorrow will be day two of this week. long, warm up we've been talking about, but you wouldn't know it from the early morning conditions. 7:00 tomorrow morning. there will be lots of fog and drizzle around the bay area. temperature 58 to about 60 degrees. then as we get to midday though mainly sunny, low 80s inland, low 70s around the bay. then as we get to the 4:00 hour, the late afternoon warming mid 90s will be the high temperatures inland, upper 70s to about 80 around the bay. even some low 60s on the coast. and as we go into the evening hours, 7 p.m. still mostly sunny. a few clouds will be building, mainly near the coastline. temperature about 86 degrees inland, 70 near the bay and 59 on the coast. there's a lot more warm weather coming our way, and i'll have the accuweather forecast in a few minutes. >> i'm dan spencer, thank you. the park fire has grown now, spanning four counties butte, plumas, shasta and tehama. it's burned 391,000 acres since it began a week ago. today. crews have gained 18% containment. so far, cal fire has determined

arson as the cause of these fast moving flames. nearly 440 buildings have been destroyed and 42 more were damaged. wildlife officials are growing concerned that a type of salmon could be hit hard by the park fire. spring run chinook salmon are a threatened species. these salmon are currently sitting in pools in higher regions, waiting for colder days and higher tides so they can spawn officials say. if the flames move farther up in altitude could devastate the population into extinction, and fire retardant would also be toxic to fish in the waterways. >> this week, we're monitoring what may be a turning point for homelessness in the bay area. a recent court ruling and executive order from the governor are opening the door for cities and counties to start clearing homeless encampments, but building a better bay area means looking at this issue from all sides, and it is quite complex. tonight we're finding some groups are now more in danger than others. as a result. as abc seven news reporter tara campbell explains, the focus now is on helping those most

vulnerable find a home. >> tara, this is extremely heartbreaking and quite honestly, infuriating. >> gail lala chavez is talking about efforts like this to clear homeless encampments in san francisco and beyond. they're the executive director of lyric, a nonprofit serving lgbtq+ youth. and they say clearing the camps is another blow to groups already struggling to access resources. >> they are predominantly black, indigenous and people of color. they are. a vast majority of them are trans and nonbinary. and so the fact that this is the response of city officials and our state officials is really heartbreaking. >> and transgender youth are among the most vulnerable. >> many of them are experiencing, you know, family rejection. many of them had to flee these really unsafe environments. and so they're coming here for refuge. >> these sweeps are, really detrimental to communities.

>> xavier davenport is a black transgender man, and knows all too well what it means to be unhoused as a person that was experiencing homelessness. >> no more than a year or two ago. and was living out of my car that i'm sitting in right now, a friend helped him get back on his feet, but he says not everybody. >> is that lucky. >> some people don't have anybody. so you know, how are we really focusing on, on the houselessness here in the bay area if we're not building, real below poverty, housing here in san francisco and in the south bay, the same battle to get people off the streets and into housing. >> jennifer haack daetz is the ceo of path, a nonprofit helping connect people to housing across five counties, including santa clara county. >> we need to make sure that if we are doing any type of encampment cleaning, that there are services attached and that means services that day. >> and she says there are

programs that are working by getting people on a path to housing. >> when you clear an encampment but you have hotel rooms, you have interim housing, and you have a true path to a permanent unit, then that is what is successful. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> the issue of homelessness is something we have covered from the very beginning, with all of its complex angles. we want to make sure that you can get the full picture as we work to build a better bay area for all of our reporting, including expert analysis and how we got where we are now, head to our website, abc7 news.com or your abc7 news app. >> marathon mistake hundreds of runners are finding out about a false finish for the san francisco race this weekend. and of course, they are not too pleased. >> plus, comic-con crackdown. it's the premier event for comic and superhero fans, but there's a criminal shadow now coming to light this year, and it's our pick for the best thing. >> you'll see today. one man's commitment to career. the local celebration for his final

line after all. earlier this week, the event organizers quietly announced they miscalculated the length of one of the half marathon courses. it made the course a half mile shorter than what it should have been. abc seven news reporter tim johns spoke with frustrated runners tonight. >> for thousands of bay area runners, this year's san francisco marathon has been a massive disappointment. on tuesday, participants received this email stating that a mistake had caused organizers to

miscalculate one of the half marathon courses instead of being 13.1 miles. the course through the city was actually only 12.6 miles. radhika bala was one of the marathons participants. she says she figured out something was off while she was running and looking at the mile markers. >> it was confusing in the beginning. there's a little bit of like maybe, you know, over time someone made a mistake. the next mile might be longer. we'll make up for it. >> paula says while she just took up running this year, she's come to love the sport. she tells me sunday's mix up makes her feel like she's been cheated. >> i got cheated from that experience because i did spend a couple of miles just mentally being like, what's going on? who do i listen to? what pace do i follow? do i look at my watch? >> similar feelings were shared by jack lang. lang says the weekend's experience has left him with an especially bad impression, not least of all because, he says this isn't the first san francisco marathon he's done that's had problems. >> i have two bad experiences. i'm like, like, what? what what new uh- mess up? are they going to come up with when i do it for

a third time? >> i reached out to marathon officials to get their response on what went wrong. in a statement, they tell us, quote, we know how disappointed the second half marathon runners are, and we are as well. unfortunately, the course route was measured correctly, but the certification map was drawn incorrectly. mile markers are added based on the map, thus causing the distance calculation error. organizers have updated the race times for participants since discovering the mistake, but for many runners, they say more still needs to be done and they're asking for some form of compensation. >> some people flew in from across the country. this is one of the most expensive races out there. it's like $230 or something like that to just register for it. so i think the consternation is definitely justified. >> in total, around 3700 people participated in the miscalculated half marathon in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> a shocking truth uncovered from the weekend's san diego comic con, a sex trafficking sting led to more than a dozen

arrests during the event, and ten likely victims are now safe. attorney general rob bonta says sex traffickers capitalize on large scale events like comic con to exploit victims for profit. a law enforcement officers posed as sex buyers to find victims and made fake advertisements as solicitations or as solicitors, i should say 14 alleged sex buyers were arrested, and those who, are the buyers who create the market. >> the demand for human traffickers. we will hold you accountable as we have here and to the victims and survivors. we support you. >> police say they found nine adult potential victims and one juvenile, a 16 year old girl. they were all offered support services. >> 17 types of cancer are on the rise in gen x and millennials, according to a study that was released today. according to the american cancer society, pancreatic, kidney and small intestinal cancers are 2 to 4

times higher in those born in 1990 compared to people born in 1955, the authors pointed out. obesity is one of the risk factors for ten of the cancer types on the positive side, the death rate for most cancers either went down or stabilized. a bipartisan bill just unveiled in the senate looks to make child care more affordable. it would modify tax credits for working parents and create a program designed to keep child care workers from leaving their job. the median pay for child care workers in the u.s. in 2023 was just over $30,000 a year. the proposal was the idea of senators tim kaine and katie britt. >> we're hearing about this at home. we need to find a solution. and this is a novel kind of a new approach. >> there's a lot of good ideas, but to your point, whether it's the cost or the implementation ability, it makes it challenging. we think this is something that not only can be done, but should be done. and we believe we can garner support for it.

>> a recent report found the cost of daycare and preschool went up 263% from 1990 to april of this year. >> all right. in the south bay, there was a very special celebration today for a beloved longtime san jose crossing guard at 98 years old, he is retiring after leading kids safely across the street for 31 years. >> he's being recognized for all the work he did even long before becoming a crossing guard. >> dedicated life of service, you served your country, you served your community. you served your family. you served your teammates. >> 1955 you relocated to the beautiful san jose, california, and worked as a welder for 30 years and retiring in 1991. >> joseph bria has watched countless students grow up. some of the kids he first started helping now have kids of their own. >> i love my job. i love the children. i love the people around that neighborhood. they all treated me good. two things to say to the kids good morning and smile. >> and he plans to stay active

in retirement and spend time with his many grandkids. >> what a nice man. congratulations, joe. i can't believe he's 98 years old. that's incredible. something else. all right. good for him. well, let's turn to the weather forecast. >> yes, we have abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian here with that. spencer. >> okay. ama and dan weather is looking pretty good. we've got a warm up coming our way, but the evenings and overnights look fine. here's a look at satellite radar composite image. you can see that the marine layer keeps reforming and going away and reforming overnight. it will reform tonight and it will produce some spotty showers or not showers. but drizzle as well. right now we're looking at relatively light to calm winds and not much of a big deal in the 24 hour temperature change. many inland areas are quite a bit warmer than they were at this time last night, but closer to the coast and bay, it's a few degrees cooler, as you would expect with the marine layer forming there with this cooling influence. here's a view from the exploratorium camera looking back at a portion of the san francisco skyline. it is 56 degrees here in the city right now. oakland 5968 hayward, mid

60 at san jose and redwood city, 55 at half moon bay. the view and calm, quiet. emeryville. other temperature readings right now looking northward. santa rosa 55 degrees 54, petaluma 60, in napa. fairfield, 6470, in concord, 68, in livermore. and let's check out our forecast features as we look across the street across the embarcadero. weeklong warming trend started today. it will continue well into next week. inland. highs during this period of time will range generally from 94 to about 98 degrees. so it'll be warm, but not excessively hot, and the heat will reach its peak early next week. so for tonight, let's talk about that marine layer that continues to come back overnight. even though we have warm days ahead. lots of drizzle along the coastline. some of that drizzle will move on shore. so in the early morning hours you if you're near the coast or the bay, you may encounter some of that drizzle overnight. low temperatures will be generally in the mid to upper 50s. highs tomorrow. low 60s at the coast, mid to upper 70s around the bay shoreline. so even around the bay is warming up a bit. but the more significant warm up will be in our inland areas where we'll

see mid to even upper 90s tomorrow, up to about 97 at fairfield. so here's our accuweather seven day forecast. we start with the mid 90s inland tomorrow mid 90s again on friday. little change there a slight bump up in temperatures on saturday. back down to that 94 range in our inland areas for sunday and monday. but then going into tuesday and wednesday of next week, looks like we'll have a little steady flow of 96 degree temperature readings.
