Possible Animal Cruelty – On May 21 at 3:52PM, Animal Control officers responded to the area Cherry Hill Rd near the railroad tracks in Dumfries (22026) to investigate a possible animal cruelty after two American pit bull terriers were discovered deceased in the area. Animal Control officers were initially dispatched after receiving the report from a caller who was walking along the path. The investigation revealed that the caller discovered a male pit bull inside a duffle bag. The caller unzipped the bag and located the deceased dog inside. Once discovered, the caller immediately contacted police. While investigating, Animal Control located a second deceased pit bull, a female, a short distance away in a plastic storage container.  Both canines were transported to a state laboratory for a necropsy. On May 23, the results of the examinations were provided to investigators. Based on the examinations, both dogs were estimated to be around 3-years-old. The cause of their death was also undetermined. Additional analysis is pending. Due to the conditions in which the animals were found, Animal Control officers are investigating this incident as a potential cruelty case.
