The incident happened at the Towle Field Trail, just off Westford Street. It's a big park where people can bring their dog for a walk — and that's what the owners of Tuti did.
Tuti was a six-year-old Maltese, and she was off leash this past Saturday when another dog approached and bit her. Tuti was rushed to a veterinarian for treatment, but her injuries were so severe that she had to be euthanized.

Tuti's owner asked that we not share her name, but says the family is absolutely heartbroken.
The other dog was described as large and white, with a brown patch around one eye. The alleged owner of that dog, a woman, gave her name as Michaela along with a phone number, but the phone number is not in service. However on Wednesday police said the other owner had come forward.
In a statement to NBC10 Boston Wednesday, Tuti’s owner said she was grateful the owner of the dog responsible is cooperating with police.
The owner of the other dog is not currently facing any criminal charges. Anyone with information about the incident has been asked to contact police.
