Great Dane involved in fatal attack dog park back at home with owner

WENTZVILLE, Mo. -- A Great Dane involved in a fatal attack at a St. Louis-area dog park has been returned to his owner.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the dog, named Zeus, was given back to his owner Friday.

Authorities say the Great Dane attacked and killed Buddy, a 10-year-old golden retriever, on March 30 at Quail Ridge Park in the off-leash dog area.

Buddy's owner said St. Charles County authorities have worked out a plan for the Great Dane, and he is satisfied with the arrangement.

Zeus had been held by St. Charles County animal control officers at a facility in St. Peters since the day after the attack.
