GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Authorities in Southern Oregon say they’ve put to death a pit bull that attacked a man and was later stolen from the dog pound.

The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports that deputies found the 6-year-old dog named Crook Sunday in a pickup truck.

Deputies say they investigated a ramming incident and found the truck abandoned near Rogue River, the hood still warm and the dog locked inside.

In February, the paper said, the dog attacked a man, who underwent surgery after his right arm was fractured and a finger broken.

The dog was scheduled to be euthanized on March 5, but the day before the Josephine County Animal Control shelter near Merlin reported that somebody cut a lock and took the dog.
