PORT JERVIS — Police shot and killed a pit bull on Tuesday afternoon after responding to a vicious-dog call, but the owner of the dog is saying her 4-year-old pit bull, Zoey, was needlessly euthanized.

Police say the dog had gotten out of a basement of a building on East Main Street when they received a call reporting the pit bull was attempting to attack a man. When police arrived, the dog charged at an officer, who shot it with a handgun, police say. The injured dog made its way to the owner on Fowler Street, where police euthanized the dog.

The dog's owner, Ashley Kizer, says it posed no threat and police unnecessarily put the dog down.
