Dog Dies After Falling From 3rd Story Apartment Window In Concord’s South End: Watch
CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating how a dog fell or jumped from a third-story apartment building in the city’s South End neighborhood on Friday morning.
A Merrimack County Sheriff’s Department deputy driving on Concord Street alerted Concord police to a dog jumping from a third-floor apartment building window and then biting a person trying to help it not far from South State Street around 9:30 a.m. The deputy reported two other dogs in the apartment appeared to be also trying to jump out of the window. Dispatch deployed officers and said they just received a call from the building reporting an assault as well.
Concord fire and rescue teams were also sent to the scene and staged because one of the dogs had not been secured.
