Dog shot in Brookfield still recovering, but fate undetermined

BROOKFIELD

A dog that was shot in the face with a shotgun two weeks ago still is at the Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County while its fate is being decided.

The American bulldog was found injured the afternoon of April 10 on the porch of a Brookfield Avenue woman who had been caring for it.

The dog, a 3- to 4-year-old male, is recovering well from surgery, said Herlinger, who works through the AWL.

The dog was shot sometime while it was gone overnight between April 9 and 10, he said.

The dog had killed the woman’s pug, then it got loose and was gone all night, Herlinger said.

Herlinger said the woman always tried to keep the dogs separated, but they accidentally got together.
