The owner of two pit bulls that officials say mauled to death one horse and critically injured another on Thanksgiving morning has appealed part of Clark County's decision to euthanize both dogs.
While Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin said additional information cannot be provided as the case is currently under investigation, he confirmed today that the attack occurred around 7 a.m. Thursday on the 8000 block of Rancho Destino Road.
Kulin said both dogs have since been declared vicious by Clark County Animal Control.
The owner of the pit bulls has appealed that declaration for only one of the dogs, Kulin said. The other dog will be put down.
A hearing to consider the owner's appeal will take place within the next 45 days, he said.
Until that time, the dog will remain at a shelter, he said.
