Police had to kill a dog at All Aboard Grooming and Kennels in Dagsboro June 6 after it attacked a state Office of Animal Welfare officer at the shelter.
Officers from Delaware State Police were called to the shelter shortly before 4 p.m. for a dangerous dog actively attacking an animal-control officer.
Dagsboro Police Department Chief Floyd Toomey said a Dagsboro officer was the first on scene, and saw a white-and-brown dog, suspected to be a pit bull, viciously attacking the 28-year-old female officer.
“The Dagsboro officer’s actions were decisive, crucial and heroic in bringing a close to the brutal attack on the victim officer, potentially saving life and limb,” Dagsboro Police Department Chief Floyd Toomey said in a press release.
