TUCKER, Ga. (AP) - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction following the death of a dog hours after being buried up to her nose.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (https://on-ajc.com/2s2M1z4 ) the $5,000 reward is offered after Eric Purdue rescued the Chow Chow mix in Tucker on Tuesday night. Purdue named her Lulu, and had found the dog buried alive in tightly packed ground on an all-terrain vehicle trail.
Officials believe she may have been left there for three days. Perdue believes the rain and overcast weather was Lulu’s saving grace during that time.
PETA vice president of communications Colleen O’Brien says they’re hopeful someone will come forward with information so whoever’s responsible can be held accountable and stopped from hurting anyone else.
