NANAIMO, B.C. — Police are asking for the public's help to find the person responsible for shooting a pitbull in Nanaimo, B.C.

The dog is expected to recover.

SPCA was able to find the dog's owner.

Police talked with neighbours, but no one was able to identify the personal responsible for the shooting.
