Owner Of Dog That Killed Small Dog In Kirkland Located: Police

KIRKLAND, WA - Kirkland police have located the owner of a dog that killed another dog at a Kirkland park on Friday. Lulu, an 8-year-old papillon, was mauled by a larger dog - possibly a malamute - at Kingsgate Park. The case is being forwarded to King County Animal Control.

Lulu's owner, Carlee Kerr, posted an account of the killing on Facebook in the hopes of finding the owner of the offending dog. According to Kirkland police, they were able to track down the owner after tips they received from a KOMO News story about Lulu's death.

Kerr said that her husband, James, was walking Lulu through the park Friday when they encountered a woman walking a boxer-type dog and a malamute off-leash. The woman told James Kerr that the dogs were rambunctious, but not dangerous. When Kerr picked Lulu up to move her out of the way of the larger dogs, the malamute snatched Lulu and began mauling her.

Kerr wrestled Lulu out of the other dog's grip and ran to get help. Lulu died at the vet, and Kerr left too quickly to get the other dog owner's information.
