Bluefield seeking help to locate vicious dogs on the loose

BLUEFIELD, W.Va. — Mercer County animal control officers have reached out to the public to help locate a group of dangerous dogs.

The four animals are reported to have attached a woman out for a walk over the Labor Day weekend near the Ridgecrest Apartments in Bluefield, W.Va. They were last spotted around Labor Day.

According to a social media post, the dogs are a shepherd mix, a grey pit mix, and two brown pit or boxer mixes.
