WEATHERFORD (CBSDFW.COM) - Investigators with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office are searching for suspects who tortured and injured a pug-mix breed female dog. The animal has since been named Hope. A concerned citizen spotted the dog wandering in the 6900 block of Baker Road on Monday morning, hurt and frightened.
Animal Control officers on horseback and a group of about 10 residents worked for hours to detain the dog, before finally catching up with Hope late Monday afternoon. According to Animal Control supervisor Karen Kessler, officers found Hope with a severely swollen tongue. Someone had pulled it out of her mouth before using electrical tape to secure the snout shut.
