Two pit bulls were found hanged on July 27 in a Lynnwood resident's backyard, and police were investigating whether the crime was connected to another animal cruelty case last month, Lynnwood police reported.
The dog owner awoke to hear his dogs barking and yelping about 2 a.m. in the 17900 block of 33rd Place West. He went outside to see his pets, Peanut and Wiggles, hanging, dead, from his fence with ropes tied around their necks, police said.
Police still were investigating a June 28 case in which an injured pit bull was found in an apartment Dumpster in the 19800 block of 50th Avenue West. A passer-by discovered the animal, which was treated at a Lynnwood animal hospital and is now at a foster home, police said.
Anyone with information is urged to call Lynnwood police Detective Elizabeth Post at 425-744-6900. Case UpdatesThe hanging deaths of two pit bulls in a Lynnwood man's back yard don't appear to be connected to another case of animal cruelty against a pit bull late last month.
Police still don't know who hanged the two dogs in the 17900 block of 33rd Place W. early Thursday morning, Lynnwood police spokeswoman Shannon Sessions said.
Sessions said police will look into any leads left on the tip line.
"We're always investigating all possibilities," she said. | Source: HeraldNet - July 29, 2006
