Dog shot in Wonder Lake after fight between dogs

Wonder Lake Fire Protection District has received a $36,140 grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to be used to purchase Genesis Extrication Equipment.

A dog was reportedly shot Friday morning after a dog-on-dog attack near Wonder Lake, Wonder Lake Fire Chief Mike Weber said.

The fire department was called about 10:50 a.m. to Balsam Drive for a reported dog attacking another dog, Weber said. One of the dogs was shot in the incident and apparently survived and was taken to surgery, Weber said.

He did not have details on the dog attack and the owners involved. Three people at the scene were evaluated and refused further medical help, Weber said.

The incident occurred in an unincorporated area outside Wonder Lake. The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office also was called to the scene.
