Dog hanged to death in tree: SPCA

The Nova Scotia SPCA is asking for the public’s assistance in finding the person or persons responsible for killing a dog by hanging the large-breed animal in a tree with a three-prong plug.

The dog was later found in a pile of snow.

“The dog was cut down but left with the cord around his neck, which shows us that the killers actually watched him die then cut him down,” said Sean Kelly, chair of the investigations committee. “It’s simply tragic.”
