The Humane Society of the United States is offering up to $2,500 for information that would lead to the identification, arrest and conviction of those responsible for a wounded and dead pit bull found alongside a Hampden Township walking trail on Dec. 29.
A resident found the wounded dog near the Conodoguinet Creek wrapped in two blue dog jackets. The 5-year-old dog had suffered broken legs, a broken foot, a broken trachea and many scratches and cuts, according to the Humane Society. Though the reasons for her death are unknown, the injuries were consistent with dogfighting, according to the Humane Society.
After initial reports, a jogger told the Humane Society he saw a man on the trail that day with several dogs. He was described as about 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall with medium blond hair and round glasses, and is considered a person of interest.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Humane Society at 717-564-3320, ext. 104.
