BEND, Ore. (AP) – Veterinarians have euthanized an Oregon dog whose spine was damaged in a trap and who became a symbol of a push to tighten state trapping rules. The 8-year-old wheaten terrier named Kieri (KIH’-ree) and her owner were on a bird-watching walk in February when she was caught in a trap meant to kill beavers and otters. Despite two surgeries, she was in pain and was euthanized Tuesday.
