It’s truly horrifying how cruel some people can be towards animals. Recently, one poor dog was found with his entire head wrapped in duct tape. Though it was a heartbreaking sight, the story does have a happy ending: On April 15, Nebraska Humane Society shared the shocking story.

Animal Control responded to a call from someone who heard an animal inside a dumpster: she initially thought it was a raccoon but was shocked to discover it was a dog. The dog was in an unbelievable condition: his head was entirely wrapped in duct tape, as was his tail, and his legs were taped together. He also reportedly had

“food and other debris caked in his fur.” “I have never seen anything like it,” responding staff member Kevin Wiederin told KETV. “The entire muzzle was taped, and then there was tape covering up the eyes and it was just sitting there and its front and back paws were taped together also.” “I was absolutely sickened. It was it was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen,” he added.
