A loose pit bull in Cave Springs was shot in the mouth when running at an officer with its teeth showing.
It happened Friday when a family called the city about a stray pit bull running on their street and in their garage for a few days.
The family tells us the dog was not aggressive but was hungry and would run "full-force" toward people.
When an officer arrived it charged toward him so he drew his gun and shot it in the mouth.
Now a family on the same street is adopting it, so the City of Cave Springs is paying for the vet bills.
