Snohomish County Animal Control Services is asking for help identifying a dog found severely injured, dehydrated and abandoned.
A driver in a black truck on June 9 pulled over on State Route 522 near Paradise Lake Road.
The man, with a mustache wearing camouflage pants, threw a cardboard box onto the shoulder of the road then drove off westbound towards Maltby.
A Good Samaritan noticed a dog next to the box, stopped and then called 911 when he saw the dog’s injuries.
The news release states:
The dog is a small female American Staffordshire Terrier-type dog, about 3 years old, fawn and white in color with distinctive markings on her face and short, cropped ears. She has significant dog bite wounds to both front legs and multiple bite wounds over her body. The dog was found covered with a dark purple substance known as Wound-Kote often used to treat wounds on livestock.
