When Alissa Kirby returned to her apartment in Mid-Wilshire area and found a trail of blood under her bed leading to her 2-year-old tabby, she panicked. She rushed the cat to the emergency veterinarian clinic across town and told the vet her theory: A dog had bitten Butters.
But not just any dog — a police dog; one of the eight that had swept through her building March 10, searching for a possibly armed burglary suspect. The next morning, a veterinarian confirmed that the puncture wounds on the right side of Butters' chest were three obvious teeth marks, farther apart than an average-size cat's teeth and consistent with a bite wound.
The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a formal investigation into Kirby's allegation that her cat was attacked by a dog from the K-9 unit, resulting in nearly $1,000 in veterinarian bills.
Although Kirby filed a complaint the week of the incident, she still hasn't been given an official explanation. She plans to file a claim for damages against the LAPD, but said her focus is on finding out who is responsible.
