An investigation is underway after the body of a dog was found inside a metal cage in the Willow Grove section of Upper Dublin Township.
Officers were called to the area of Welsh Road near Blair Mill Road Wednesday where they discovered a dead female Pit Bull Terrier between the ages of 6-months and a year. Investigators say the dog was inside a metal cage that had been wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape. They also say pieces of drywall were used as the bedding for the crate.
Investigators believe the dog died from suffocation and had been dead for at least three days before her body was found.
On Friday, PETA offered a $5,000 reward for help in nabbing the puppy killer.
