Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!
Police are investigating the shooting of a 10-year-old Terrier mix named Toby.
Toby's owners let him out into their backyard in the 900 block of Gammon Trail around 4:30 p.m. Monday. When they called him back in around 5:30, he wasn't acting normal, according to a news release from the Chesapeake Police Department. The owners then discovered a small wound on his chest.
They took Toby to a veterinarian, who discovered a BB pellet next to the dog's heart. The dog so far has survived but the pellet cannot be removed.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Line at 888-Lock-U-Up.
