Rescued S. Oregon dog believed to be involved in fighting

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Josephine County officials have rescued a yellow Labrador they believe was involved in a dog-fighting operation.

The Grants Pass Daily Courier reports (https://is.gd/H4DJ8Z ) that County Animal Protection Officer David Pitts found two men trying to force the Labrador into a pickup truck and believed the men were trying to gather dogs to be used for dog-fighting.

Pitts says he saw two other dogs in the back of the truck, but the men drove off before he could investigate, abandoning the yellow lab, Finley.

Finley has since been reunited with his family.
