‘Adopt Me’ Dog Kills Pet At Marathon Event

To quote from a report out of Washington state, USA:

The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County says it is reviewing its policies and taking responsibility after a dog being showcased for adoption at the Tacoma City Marathon fatally attacked another attendee’s pet.

The incident happened Sunday, May 3, near the finish area at Dune Peninsula in Point Defiance Park, according to the Humane Society and witnesses.

The dog involved, identified by witnesses as “Dallas,” was reportedly wearing an “Adopt Me” vest and was accompanied by a Humane Society volunteer at the time of the attack.

The Humane Society later confirmed Dallas was classified as dangerous following the attack and was euthanized.
