ORIGINAL: KAMLOOPS — Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet of the Kamloops RCMP is asking for the public’s help to locate three pit bulls that appear to have killed a 12-year-old collie on Sunday (Sept. 8) morning on the North Shore.

Shoihet said the collie was attacked in its owner’s backyard at about 6:15 a.m. in the 600-block of Richmond Avenue and the pit bulls appear to be on the loose.

She noted it appears the three pit bulls — two dark brown in colour and one white, with brown spots – jumped a fence into the backyard and killed the collie before hopping back over the fence and making way for Schubert Drive.

Shoihet said RCMP attended the scene and the matter has been referred to City of Kamloops community service officers, who are on the lookout for the pit bulls.
