\nOn April 15, the Nebraska Humane Society revealed the suprising story.\n
Animal Control responded to a complaint from someone who heard an animal inside a dumpster; she initially thought it was a raccoon but was surprised to find out it was a dog.\n
The dog was in unbelievable shape: his head, tail, and legs were all taped together. He also allegedly had \u201cfood and other debris caked in his fur.\u201d\n
\n
\u201cI have never seen anything like it,\u201d responding staff member Kevin Wiederin told KETV. \u201cThe entire muzzle was taped, and then there was tape covering up the eyes and it was just sitting there and its front and back paws were taped together also.\u201d\n
\u201cI was terribly sick. \u201cIt was the most disgusting thing I had ever seen,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine doing that to another living being, let alone a helpless little dog and then just throwing it away like trash.\u201d\n
It was a wonder he was discovered in time: the NHS reported that a truck arrived a half hour after Animal Control reacted to the call and emptied the bin.\n
The puppy was taken to the Nebraska Humane Society. He was anesthetized, and the personnel set to work removing the tape. They had to cut his fur to get rid of all the dirt.\n
They said on Facebook that, while the dog suffered some skin irritation, he was \u201cotherwise healthy and seemed to be in good spirits despite his condition\u201d and \u201cperked up and was wagging his tail.\u201d\n
\n
With the tape removed, the personnel luckily discovered a microchip. It turned out that the dog was named Leo and had gone missing a few days previously.\n
Erin Dillon-Pasillas, Leo\u2019s owner, claims the dog got out of the house while she was driving her son to school. She\u2019d spent days fretting and visiting shelters about her missing pet.\n
\u201cEach day became increasingly difficult\u2026 \u201cIt was only crickets,\u201d she told KETV. \u201cI was shivering while calling them. You know, you\u2019re thinking, \u201cPlease be my dog.\u201d\n
\n
Erin was relieved to have her puppy back, but she was upset about what happened to poor Leo.\n
\u201cHe is the sweetest dog! \u201cI\u2019m not sure why anyone would do this,\u201d she told the NHS.\n
Leo is now recovered from the incident, and Erin promised to give him a lovely bath and a vet check-up.\n
\n
It\u2019s unclear who did this to Leo. The NHS claims that there are no cameras near the bin where Leo was discovered. They encourage anyone with information to call Animal Services at 402-444-7800, and they are offering a $1,000 prize for information leading to an arrest.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
