A South Hill dog died mysteriously Tuesday after eating something in its back yard.

Spokane Animal Control is waiting for test results from Washington State University to determine if the death Tuesday was the latest in a string of dogs killed by someone putting out poisoned meatballs.

At least three dogs were killed last month, and meatballs were found that contained strychnine.

    A person has to be a real sick bastard to poison a dog. This is a good case for the good ol boy club at the SPD. Sic him guys sic him.
