WESTPORT, Pa. — A Labrador Retriever found slain last 150 miles from its home in Clinton County is the focus of an animal cruelty investigation, state police said Sunday.
The 11-year-old dog was found dead in Dauphin County on Tuesday with a gunshot wound to its neck. State police said they have a suspect in mind, but they have not disclosed their identity.
An investigation remained ongoing Sunday, state police said.
The dog’s owner, a 33-year-old man from Westport, let his dog out Monday shortly before 6 a.m. The dog never returned.
A search turned up blood, dog hair and other “biological matter” at a neighboring property, state police said. Eventually, that led investigators to a property in Dauphin County, where they found the dog dead a day later.
State police asked that anyone with information to contact Trooper Christopher Moore at 570-726-6000.
