Two dogs are shot after leaving their yard in Finley and attacking a neighbor’s chickens, according to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.

One dog, a pit-bull, was killed and the other, a husky, was injured around midnight on Monday, Sergeant Gerry tells KAPP-KVEW.

Officers said this was not the first time the dogs had gone to attack the chickens.

Police recommend that you keep dogs locked in a fenced area or kennel.
