Officials Shoot, Kill Wolf-Dog

A wolf-German shepherd hybrid that attacked cattle and then broke out of a county animal control van has been shot and killed by Lee County authorities

The wolf-dog, which was named Max, was turned over to authorities last week by its owner when the animal attacked some cattle. The dog escaped from the back of an animal control van.

It had been spotted in recent days, including once when it walked through the background of a live TV report.

Authorities have spent the past several days searching for the dog because they feared it would be aggressive to other animals and children.
