Spokane deputies kill relentless pit bull dog
SPOKANE — Spokane County sheriff's deputies used a stun gun on an attacking pit bull dog, but it didn't stop, so they shot it with a .45-caliber handgun. And it still kept coming.
SPOKANE — Spokane County sheriff's deputies used a stun gun on an attacking pit bull dog, but it didn't stop, so they shot it with a .45-caliber handgun. And it still kept coming.
They finally killed it with a blast from a 12-gauge shotgun.
The sheriff's office says the dog was killed early today when deputies responded to a domestic violence incident at a home.
Deputies arrested a 32-year-old man who had been drinking and threatening his family.
Two daughters, ages 2 and 3, who were inside the house, were unharmed and slept through the dog's shooting.
