Fridley police seek info on 2 loose dogs that killed a pet

Police in a northern Minneapolis suburb are looking for information about two dogs that killed a third on Sunday.

Fridley Public Safety said the attack yielded no 911 call, but a community member who saw a post about it on social media contacted police the day after.

Police began investigating and contacted the slain dog's owner. The owner said they were carrying their two dogs near Fifth and 63rd avenues when two loose dogs approached them. One attacked them and killed one of their pets, they said. It happened between 7 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

The loose dogs were described as Staffordshire bull terriers, one black and one tan. Police are asking anyone with information about or photos or videos of the dogs to call 763-572-3629 or submit an anonymous tip online.

"Officers will be doing extra patrols in the area to continue to search for the loose dogs," Fridley Public Safety said.

Police also reminded residents to call 911 about any dog attacks, or "if you see a dog running at large but it has not caused harm."
