OTTAWA–The gruesome discovery of a dog tied to a railing in an apartment building stairwell and left to die is being called one of the most horrific cases of animal cruelty witnessed in Ottawa in years.
It has prompted the Ottawa Humane Society, for the first time in its known history, to offer a reward – $500 – for information leading to charges in the case of the dead 1 1/2-year-old Boxer-type pup.
The dog's body was found Feb. 18 by police officers called to a break-in. The humane society was called and has taken over the investigation.
Humane society executive director Bruce Roney says an autopsy was unable to determine how long the dog was tied in the stairwell, but from the appearance of the scene, it seems to have been quite awhile.
"Clearly the dog had panicked and was suffering and was scratching and I would imagine was barking at one point," Roney said.
He called it "one of the most horrific cases that I have seen here, and I have been here about 6 1/2 years."
