A bulldog that bit a man and woman in Vernon Monday morning and also caused the injuries that killed another dog has been euthanized.

Vernon police officers and Vernon Animal Control responded to Beverley Road just after 11 a.m. after getting a report of a dog attack and officers found a woman and a man who had been bitten by a dog, police said. They declined to be transported for medical care.

Police also found a dog that appeared to have died from injuries caused by the other dog, which police said Tuesday was an American bulldog.

Police said the bulldog was secured and the owner is cooperating with the investigation. On Tuesday, police said the dog was euthanized Monday night.

No charges have been filed and the case is under investigation.
