The Humane Society of Harrisburg is seeking a "person of interest" related to a dead pit bull found December 24 on a walking trail along the Conodoguniet Creek in Hampden Township.
A jogger contacted the Humane Society after media reports about the incident and claimed he saw the man who dumped the badly injured dog. The dog had sustained broken legs and feet, a crushed trachea and lacerations on its legs -- injuries consistent with dog-fighting, according to the Humane Society. It was wrapped in a blue vest that appeared to have been used as a gurney, according to the Humane Society.
The jogger described the person of interest as a white male, 6'2" to 6'4", medium-length blondish-red hair and round glasses. The jogger said the person had at least five other dogs with him, including a yellow Labrador Retriever.
Anyone with information about the case may call HSHA’s Cruelty Department at 717-564-3320, ext. 104. References« PA State Animal Cruelty Map
