ATLANTA - Tests have indicated that a pesticide likely caused eight dogs to get sick after eating food in a public park in southeast Atlanta. <br> <br> The dogs received medical treatement this weekend after eating what appeared to be chicken livers in Brownwood Park. A veterinarian says the meat seems to have been soaked in some sort of toxin - now believed to be pesticide. <br> <br> The dogs&#39; owners say the incident could be linked to recent leash-law debates they have had with other nearby citizens. <br> <br> None of the dogs has died from eating the food, although two are still being treated. <br> <br> At least four of the owners had vet bills of more than $400.<br> <br> (WSB-TV)
