Small dog killed by pit bull

IOWA -- Animal Control officials are investigating a dog attack that left a Maltese dead on its front porch.

A resident in the 1700 block of Butler Street called authorities when a stray pit bull attacked the small dog about 10:20 a.m. Monday, according to Waterloo police.

The pit bull was captured without incident, and no people were injured, police said.

The Maltese was outside its home at the time of the attack.

A person at the home said he didn't know who the pit bull belonged to and didn't know who owned it, but he declined to comment further.
