The Marion County animal shelter is offering a $1000 reward for information in the case of a dog that starved to death after being tied up and abandoned. A man walking along the river discovered the remains.
The dog's legs had been bound and its mouth had been tied shut with twine.
“It had been dead quite a while when we found it but it's legs were bound and its mouth had been tied shut,” says Susan Lowery with Marion County Animal Shelter.
Lowery does not know where the animal came from but she believes more than one person was involved in the crime because of the large size of the dog.
She says this is one of the worst cases of animal abuse she has ever seen.
“I'm worried to live in a state where there is at least one person that would do something this horrible because if they would do this to a dog what would they do to a child,” says Lowery.
