A Trion man reported to the Chattooga County Sheriff's Department last week that his dog may have been shot by a neighbor.

Benjamin Johnson, of a Diamond Lane, Trion, address, called 911 around 2 a.m. April 26 to report that his dog may have been shot. Johnson said he discovered the dog at about 12:30 a.m. bleeding from his chest. He said he wasn't positive but it appeared the dog had been shot with some type of small pellet. He said someone had told him that his neighbors had been shooting guns the same day.  Deputies were unable to make contact with the neighbors that allegedly were shooting guns.
