Emaciated, dead dog found on Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Dedham campus leads to investigation

- Massachusetts, USA -


Back on October 25, 2021, an employee with the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) discovered an emaciated dead dog on ARL’s campus in Dedham.


The following day, a necropsy was performed on the dog whom the ARL described as a male young adult Pitbull type. Results showed the furbaby “suffered from severe malnutrition”, said ARL in a press release.


Joseph King, Animal Rescue League Director of Law Enforcement said about the dog: “It was emaciated. It was really skinny. It looked like a like a skeleton with skin. Totally wrapped on it. It wasn't pleasant.”


Director King also said: “In my line of work I’ve seen a lot of animal cruelty cases but a dog left here on our property is really bizarre, it’s a new one on me, it’s a new one for anyone who’s been at the League for a while, this is really unusual.”


ARL Law Enforcement reached out to Dedham Police shortly thereafter, and the two agencies have since been jointly investigating the incident.


According to the release, on the evening of October 23, at approximately 11:17 p.m. a surveillance camera captured an SUV-type vehicle with two unidentified people inside entering ARL property and leaving the dog inside a garbage bag on a walkway before exiting the property.

Analysis of the video revealed that the suspect vehicle is likely a Nissan Rogue.


The ARL Law Enforcement Department and Dedham Police Department are jointly investigating the case but they need help from the public to move forward.


If you have information regarding this heartbreaking case, I beg you, come forward and speak up for the VOICLESS VICTIM.

You can contact ARL Law Enforcement at (617) - 470 - 4266 ext.110 or you can email your tip.

Alternatively, please contact Dedham Police Detective Kevin Mahoney at (781) - 751- 9301 or email him. Thank you!


The Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office are also assisting with the investigation.


As Director King rightfully said: “To see an animal come to that end, they don’t deserve that. If you can’t take care of your animal, you’ve got options. That animal can still live a happy and healthy life.”

I'm pretty sure it was some gangbanger Black Lives Matter fuck who did this. Sorry, but I can almost guarantee I'm right. F them and BLM!!! WAAAAYYYYY TOO MANY of these scum of the earth's doing this to their pitbulls which they had to get for some sort of status symbol of toughness. Then these A-HOLES are out there shoving all the McDonald's and crap fast food in their ugly-ass faces, making their moronic Tik-Tok videos, while starving and abusing their pitbulls. I can only laugh at them when I see them all developing diabetes, heart disease and COVID. A lot of them died from COVID because of their shit lifestyles and eating habits, and I'm glad for…
