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.
