The owner of a small Shih Tzu shot a Rottweiler to death Sunday afternoon at a Reno park as the two dogs were fighting, officials said.
Washoe County sheriff’s deputies and Reno police responded to a call just after 1 p.m. Sunday at Rancho San Rafael Park's off-leash dog area. Three animal services officers were called to assist.
The Shih Tzu, which was not on a leash, approached a leashed Rottweiler that was being walked by its owner and the two dogs started to fight, animal services said in a news release.
