RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. — Authorities in Alabama say a severed foot brought home by a family dog belongs to a bear — and not a child as they first thought.
Police in Russellville spent two days searching surrounding wooded areas for a small child after the foot was found.
Chief Chris Hargett says the structure of the bear’s foot was close enough to a human’s to fool an orthopedic surgeon who examined it, but forensic tests later found its origin.
