Chicken-Killing Dogs Roaming In Grant Park

The Grant Park Neighborhood Association issued a warning to that community's residents about two wild dogs that killed a flock of chickens on Grant Street Oct. 8.

GPNA says they've been stalking other coops and are a menace to not only to pets but people as well.

One of the dogs is a female German Shepard and walks with a limp. The other is a skinny, Rottweiler mix.

Even though she has a limp, one resident saw the German Shepherd climbing a 3-foot fence on Cherokee Place Oct. 17.

Most of the reported sightings have been in Grant Park, but residents in neighboring communities have chicken coops as well as small pets so they should be vigilant.
