- New Hampshire, USA -

~ Update: February 2, 2023

Trooper Neil Chapdelaine kindly responded to my email and told me that the dog is a female. She is 2.5 years old and her name is Coco. Trooper Chapdelaine tells me that Coco is still at Riverside Rescue. I found a Facebook post published by the nonprofit and the screenshot has been added to the gallery below.

The New Hampshire State Police announced that two arrests have been made in the case of a dog who had been abandoned at the side of a bridge on Hogan Road in Coös County.

NHSP said that on Sunday, January 1, 2023, at approximately 3:30 p.m. they were alerted to a dog “located precariously near the edge of a bridge on North Road in the town of Shelburne.”

Trooper Neil Chapdelaine responded to the area and found a helpless brindle colored hound dog. With the assistance of a local dog trainer and others, Trooper Chapdelaine was able to successfully rescue the furbaby who was not wearing a tag nor did he/she have identification chip. The dog was first taken to the Woodlands Veterinary Clinic in Lancaster and then transferred to the Riverside Animal Rescue in Lunenburg, Vermont.

Police identified as those who SENSELESSLY, and HEARTLESSLY abandoned the dog, TRAVIS MELTON and JESSICA ALLEN (both pictured), both of Berlin, NH.

The despicable duo were arrested on misdemeanor cruelty to animal charges and are no longer in custody.

Their arraignment is slated to take place on March 8, 2023.

The Morgan County Sheriff's Department is reaching out to the public for assistance with a horrific case of animal cruelty.

Six puppies were thrown off of a bridge and left in a river on Burreville Road in Sunbright after being stuffed in a red tote bag.

The nonprofit MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said only one puppy survived and the furbaby has been named Survivor. Survivor has a broken leg and more details will be disclosed after a veterinary examination.

In a Facebook post the shelter said that the puppies “Appear to probably be a cur type mix, approximately 7 to 9 weeks old, maybe slightly older.”

MoCo Mutts Rescue Center is offering a reward, which now climbed to $2,250, in exchange for information leading to the identification and conviction of the monster responsible for such a heinous crime. As the nonprofit said: “This should make you angry and ill to your stomach.”

There is a discrepancy with the dates according to which the furbabies were tossed from the bridge. The probable timeframe is between December 24 and December 25.

If you were in the area on those days and you witnessed something unusual or suspicious that can help with the investigation, please, come forward and speak up for those innocent puppies.

They rely on us for justice!

As MoCo Mutts Rescue Center said: “Don't let this crime go unpunished.”
