    Hope there is a special place in hell for whoever did this….

    Dog tethered to anchor found dead floating on lake near Willmar

    Authorities have yet to determine the animal’s owner or who might be responsible for the animal’s fate.

    A dead dog tethered with a rope to an anchor was found floating on a lake north of Willmar, and authorities are pushing to determine its owner and who might be responsible for the animal’s fate.

    Someone notified the Kandiyohi Sheriff’s Office about 8:50 a.m. Tuesday of the dog spotted about 200 feet from the north shore of Point Lake.

    The dog, a female springer Spaniel at least five years old, was in water about 6 feet deep and a quarter-mile from the boat access, the Sheriff’s Office said.

    The animal is described as having mostly white fur, with black on its back end and head.

    Staff members at the Kandiyohi/Meeker County Humane Society searched the dog and failed to find an identification chip.

    Anyone who might have information about the dog is urged to call the Sheriff’s Office at 1-320-214-6700.

    I can’t even read stuff like this anymore. It’s just so devastating that someone would do this. It makes me want to run home and hug my boys, give them lots of belly rubs, and tell them I love them.

    Wow. I know of many people who would love to adopt a Springer, they’re great dogs. Even if the pet was terminally ill and in pain, this isn’t the correct way of handling it…ever…

    I sure hope they find the owner to answer a few questions and hold them responsible!

    Hope they catch the rotten b who did this and make him swim till he sinks in the same way that poor dog did. If someone can’t keep or handle a dog put it out there for someone who can.

    I can think of a few better burial sites for an ill dog.
    …without even thinking.

    Looks like they got the questions answered. Still not a good thing to do, but it makes it “better” knowing the details.
