PETA Offers $2,500 for Info on Abandoned Dog

Officials from PETA have announced a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who left a dog tied to a rock in the rising Neshaminy Creek.

"Animal abusers are cowards," says PETA Manager Martin Mersereau. "Area residents have good reason to be concerned. People who demonstrate such blatant disregard for life and desensitization to suffering can pose a serious risk to all animals—including humans—with whom they come into contact."

The lab mix was discovered Saturday afternoon by Wyatt Erb and his wife, according to an article from NBC10.com. Bristol Township police told NBC 10 that the dog suffered from years of abuse and had an untreated tumor in her hind leg. 

She was taken to the Bucks County SPCA, where she will be available for adoption.

Anybody with information about the incident can contact the Bristol Township Police Department at (215) 785-4040.
