Missing Dog Found In Dumpster With His Face And Body Wrapped In Duct Tape Cries For His Mum

Admin

I’m pretty sure that every pet parent’s biggest fear is losing their furry friend.

And, when such an unfortunate event happens, all they can think of is where they are, if they are safe, and will they ever return home.

Unfortunately, there are some hoomans who simply don’t understand this and completely disregard the fact that animals have feelings, too.  

A Very Heartbreaking Scene

When an employee at an Omaha accounting firm heard some strange noises coming from a dumpster, she initially thought that it was a raccoon.

But, since it was late at night, she wasn’t really comfortable checking the dumpster so she hoped that somebody else would open it and let the stray animal out.

However, when she returned in the morning, she was shocked to find out that it wasn’t a raccoon at all. It was actually an innocent, scared puppy who was covered in duct tape.

His entire head was wrapped up in it, and his back legs were taped together. His tail was also taped up in duct tape and he had a lot of food and other debris stuck in his fur.

The worried hoomans immediately contacted Animal Control and informed them of the situation.

“I have never seen anything like it,” said Kevin W, one of the staff members who made the discovery.

The poor guy was immediately rushed to the Nebraska Humane Society where he received all the help he needed.

Finally Safe

As soon as he reached the Nebraska shelter, he was sedated, allowing the staff members to remove all of the tape and dirt.

Because the duct tape was so strong, the staff had to shave off his fur in order to take it off completely.

As soon as he was freed, the puppy was super happy and greeted his rescuers with a lot of hugs and kisses.

The staff then conducted a thorough medical examination and determined that despite some mild skin irritation, he was perfectly healthy.

Luckily, the pup had a microchip, allowing the Nebraska Humane Society to find out not only his name, Leo, but also the contact information of his owners.

As it turned out, Leo was reported missing by his mum as soon as he disappeared, and she was so overjoyed to have him back in her embrace. However, she simply couldn’t understand why somebody would put him through all of this.

“He’s the sweetest dog! I don’t know why anyone would do this,” said Erin, Leo’s mum.

Luckily, Leo and his family can put all of this behind them, as he is now safe and sound in the warmth of his home and will never have to go through anything like this ever again!

Open For Investigation

Unfortunately, the dumpster in which Leo was found is located in an area where there are no cameras.

That is why the Nebraska Humane Society is urging anyone who has any information about this case to immediately contact the Nebraska Humane Society

The humane society is offering a $1,000 reward for any information that would lead to an arrest concerning Leo’s case.
