At about 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 15, police were notified that a German Short-Haired Pointer had killed the raccoon in a heavily wooded area off of Hicock Road, according to Animal Control Officer Maryann Kleinschmitt.
“This is not the first time that this dog has gotten into it with raccoons” since the family that owns the pointer moved an invisible fence forward into the woods, she said.
