Two girls who were bitten by a pit bull in Hopewell Township earlier this week have returned home from the hospital.

Hopewell Township Police Chief Don Sedlacek reported that the dog owner had the dog put down at the Humane Society on Tuesday. 

A decision will be made by police concerning what charges, if any, will be filed against the dog’s owner, according to Chief Sedlacek.
