Pathologists are testing two Firestone dogs to see if they were poisoned.
Firestone police said the dogs, identified on the department’s Facebook page as Kyera and Dozer Boy, were found dead in their backyard on Aug. 8 in the 500 block of Fifth Street. According to reports, chunks of meat were found in the dogs’ throats.
Police said the case is under investigation and that a “person of interest” has been identified.
“The community of Firestone is paying close attention to this investigation and (we) are appalled by the death of these two precious companions,” Chief David Montgomery said in a statement.
