Officer puts down deer after dog chews one of the animal’s legs

A Park City police officer put down a deer early in the evening on Thursday, Nov. 8 after a dog injured the animal, the Police Department says.

Officers were called to Chatham Crossing, which is near the Rail Trail, at about 5 p.m. after receiving a report of a large dog chasing a deer. The dog caught the deer and chewed on one of its legs, police Capt. Rick Ryan says.

The police found the injured deer about 150 yards southeast of condominiums at Chatham Crossing. An officer killed the deer with one shot, Ryan says.

The captain says the dog was loose, but he is unsure what breed it is.

Summit County Animal Control officers are investigating, Ryan says.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Nov. 9 at 11:05 p.m., an injured deer was seen at the Deer Valley Drive-Aerie Drive intersection. The animal died, the police say.
