Investigators with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office are searching for suspects who tortured and injured a pug-mix breed female dog.
The animal has since been named Hope. A concerned resident spotted the dog wandering in the 6900 block of Baker Road on Monday morning, hurt and frightened.
Animal Control officers on horseback and a group of about 10 residents worked for hours to detain the dog, before finally catching up with Hope late Monday afternoon. According to Animal Control supervisor Karen Kessler, officers found Hope with a severely swollen tongue. Someone had pulled it out of her mouth before using electrical tape to secure the snout shut.
“I see a lot of horrific stuff, I have never seen anything to this magnitude,” said Karen Kessler, Parker County Sheriff Department’s animal control supervisor. “Somebody should recognize this dog, somebody should know where this dog came from. We need them to call to find leads to find out who did such a crime to this animal.”
“This is horrendous,” said Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler in a statement. “I can’t imagine what would bring a person to such an evil act. We are fortunate to have found her when we did. Our investigators have seen some pretty terrible things in their careers, but this case is deeply disturbing and leaves us shocked.”
“If they’ll do this, what [else] will they do? This is crazy,” Fowler added.
Kessler said she felt “somebody cared for her at one point” because the animal is kind to humans.
