The PEI Humane Society says a rescue pit bull mix-breed that attacked and killed another dog on Tuesday in New Argyle Shore has been humanely euthanized.
Police say the dog broke free from its owner and then attacked and killed a Manchester Terrier that was walking with its family.
The dog was voluntarily turned over to the Humane Society and and assessment determined that the risk the dog presented to the community was too great, and it had to be euthanized.
The Humane Society stresses that it’s important for people to know the complete history of a dog before they adopt the animal.
