Deputy Fires to Stop Aggressive Stray Dog | Winston–Salem News

A deputy in Stokesdale fired his weapon after a loose Cane Corso charged at him during an animal attack incident — the dog missed its target but ricocheted into a nearby home, thankfully without injury. The woman and her dog were attacked by two unleashed dogs, and while EMS treated the victims, one dog returned and became aggressive. The owners face charges for violating Rockingham County’s leash law, enacted since 1998 after a tragic child incident — a sobering reminder for pet owners to keep animals secured and leashed to protect everyone.
