BARNESVILLE, Ga -- A Griffin police dog has been found shot to death, and the officer he worked with is offering a $500 reward in the case.

The Herald-Gazette newspaper in Barnesville reports that Griffin officer Chad Moxon, who lives in Lamar County, says the dog, called Jimi, was taken from the kennel at his home on Monday along with his other dog while he was at the Griffin firing range.

Moxon says the dog's body was found at the side of the road near Yatesville on Wednesday. He says his other dog was found alive but had been badly beaten.

The Lamar County sheriff's office is investigating.
