WALLINGFORD–Police have found the owner of a dog that was located at the Tyler Mill Preserve on Thursday.
It was announced Thursday that a 1- to 3-year-old brown shepherd mix with white paws had been found shot to death and wrapped in a tarp.
The dog seemed to be healthy and was spayed, but didn’t have a collar or tags.
