Police in Columbus are trying to find out if somebody’s poisoning dogs on purpose.

Two pets died after playing with green sticks that look like chewable toys but contain rat poison. The sticks were found in the dogs’ yards which are a few houses apart on the same street.

Officers are not sure how they got there. A small child was found to be handling one of the sticks. A third dog was also poisoned at one of the homes.

Columbus Police have asked residents to check their yards for the green poison sticks – and if any are found, people are asked to place them in paper bags and call police.
