Police are looking for the person who shot a dog in a central Salina backyard Thursday evening.
A 28-year-old Salina woman reported that she had let her boxer out in the fenced-in backyard in the 700 block of W. Prescott Avenue shortly after 6:30 p.m. Thursday. When the boxer came back up on the porch approximately three minutes later, it had been injured, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The woman took her dog to the veterinarian, who discovered the dog had been shot.
At about the same time the dog was in the backyard, law enforcement dispatch received a report of shots being fired in the same general area, Forrester said.
The dog survived the shooting, but was taken to the K-State Veterinary Hospital, Forrester said.
