SOMERSWORTH, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire police say two dogs ate food that was filled with fish hooks, killing one and injuring the other.

A Somersworth woman has told police she believes someone threw a piece of food laced with fish hooks into her backyard. She thinks it was most likely a piece of meat. Her two Doberman pinschers ate it, and one died.

Capt. Russ Timmons tells Foster’s Daily Democrat (
