A macabre discovery has been made in the city of Des Moines in Iowa. An emaciated bulldog was found Tuesday afternoon near a railroad overpass with its head sticking out of a black plastic garbage bag. The dog could not walk because the bag was tightly taped, reports include AP.
Now the police are trying to find out who might have done this. Police spokesman Paul Parizek says the man who found the abandoned dog reacted to the trash bag moving and that’s why he reacted.
Weighed only ten kilos
During the weekend, Paul Parizek also announced that the dog is slowly recovering from what happened. When the bulldog was found, he only weighed about ten kilograms, according to the veterinary staff who care for him.
The police are now releasing a picture of the dog and hope that someone will recognize it and help them in the investigation to find the suspected animal abuser. There have been cuts in the dog’s ears, indicating that it has received veterinary care earlier in its life.
