A mutilated dog was found behind a Northeast Philadelphia home Monday and it has raised questions if the dead Husky was put there to send a message.
Sherri Verdon discovered the remains of a full-grown Husky mix that had been sawed in half on the back porch of her Somerton-section home Monday afternoon.
“It’s just frightening, it’s creepy,” she said.
The horrific image of a dog cut in half is something Verdon couldn’t get out of her mind.
“I just became hysterical crying,” she said about the gruesome discovery. “It was just very disturbing.”
Verdon says that the same man who vandalized her home nearly a half-dozen times recently could also be responsible for this gruesome act of animal cruelty.
“He really crossed the line... I don’t think we’re dealing with a normal human being here,” she said.
The SPCA was investigating to try and find out who left the dead dog in Verdon’s backyard.
