Officer takes down pit bull

TROTWOOD (July 12): A pit bull was mortally wounded by a police officer after he was called twice during the day about the dog barking and growling as people walked by.

Although the dog had a collar on, it did not have any tags. On the second call, the dog was found sitting on the curb in front of a grassy shoulder and a tree line behind. When the dog did not respond to the officer, he began walking toward the dog, which immediately stood, began barking and growling.
