(La Porte County, IN) - Two dogs are blamed for killing more chickens in southern La Porte County.

 

On Saturday, La Porte County Police were called to the 18-thousand block of S. 1050 West in Dewey Township, where a man reported that two dogs were attacking his dog, killing his only chicken in the backyard and then leaving his property.

 

Authorities then went to another nearby residence, learning that another chicken, belonging to a woman who blamed the canines for killing six of her other chickens in September, had been attacked by the animals.

 

She described her chicken as being in “bad shape,” following the incident.

 

An officer has reportedly gone to the home where the dogs reside but was unable to make contact with the owner. The case has been turned over to animal control to possibly further the investigation.
