According to police reports, officers found a white, female pitbull chained to the ground with less than a foot of chain. The dog couldn't walk or move its head. The chain was embedded in the neck, causing severe injury.
The police report also said flies and maggots covered the wound. The dog was underweight and also had wounds on her legs and body.
Officials took the dog to a local veterinary clinic where she is being treated. She may need surgery for the neck injury.
Cruelty to animals in Virginia is a misdemeanor.
