‘Tve never seen such a mess in my life! The dogs must have been in there all night long," county dog warden Jack Bruce told the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday's meeting, describing the slaughter of Netus Dodson’s sheep. Dodson reported that he shot two dogs last month after he’d seen them comer and attack one of his sheep when he was preparing to feed the flock.
He found 18 or 19 dead sheep the first night and two or three more the following day. The sheep were scattered all through his orchard, fields and pasture, Dodson said. "There are still some missing that we never did find,” he added.
According to Dodson, the two dogs—one a large sized mixed breed and the other a medium sized black mongrel—had “ripped the sheep all to pieces...They killed more fat lambs than anything else. The lambs were so fat they couldn’t get away.”
Dodson told the supervisors that the owner of the large dog claimed the animal but maintained his dog wasn’t involved in the killing. Dodson noted that he’d seen only the smaller black dog actually attack a sheep.
He recalled that he'd loaded the black dog down with shot a year ago when he'd caught it chasing calves. ”1 didn’t think she’d come back. I should have killed her then.”
