When police arrived, they searched for a short amount of time before locating something that resembled what was reported: a large black dog.
The black dog, police added, belonged to a local resident.
"We have continued to investigate these reports that appear to have stemmed from one original call/post and, at this time, all reports/calls/posts about a black panther have been unsubstantiated," the Hamilton Police Department posted.
