The Humane Society needs help finding the dog’s owner.
The dog was left near 1500 Wisconsin Blvd, at the corner of Noble Avenue sometime before 9 a.m., Wednesday morning.
She was found on the sidewalk near the side of the road, with a four-foot heavy chain dragging along the ground, the spokesperson said.
The dog’s collar was embedded into her neck and this act of cruelty is one of the worst embedded collar cases the Humane Society team has ever witnessed, according to the spokesperson.
