An Ohio woman is accused of killing a dog and hurting another by giving them insulin shots during a euthanasia attempt at her Navarre home, police said.
According to WJW-TV, Navarre police arrested Tisha Lynn, 44, on Thursday, charging her with prohibitions concerning companion animals in the Sept. 8 incident.
Lynn told officers that her dogs had hurt another dog in her neighborhood, a mobile home park, court documents said. Lynn claimed that the park's manager told her to have the dogs put down in the next day, police said.
According to WEWS-TV, Lynn told police that she couldn't afford to have the dogs euthanized at a vet's office, so she looked online for a way to do it herself. Lynn, who has diabetes, decided to use her insulin and gave the dogs 30 doses of the drug, police said.
The Stark County Humane Society drove both dogs to a clinic, authorities said. One dog suffered convulsions and died, WJW reported.
