Here are the stories our reporters are working on Thursday: * A man hit a dog on Route 11 and drove off, leaving it with a broken back. His owner wants to know why. * In court, a woman pleads with a judge to keep the man accused of threatening her with a butcher knife out of prison. * Police are looking for someone who stole $20,000 worth of jewelry, electronics and coins from an area home. See if you can help.* A woman was hired to help an elderly woman around the house. Instead, police say she stole her laundry money. Look for all this and more in Friday's Press Enterprise.
