Missing Dog Found Covered In Duct-Tape, Discarded In Dumpster

Omaha, Nebraska – A dog who disappeared from his family’s home last week was discovered in a dumpster on Monday morning. The dog, Leo, had been covered in duct-tape and was discarded in a dumpster outside of Sweet and Associates in Omaha.

An employee at the firm heard what she thought was a raccoon in the dumpster, but it turned out to be Leo, covered in tape around his legs and face.

Nebraska Humane Society said:

The poor pup was rushed to NHS where staff sedated him and removed the tape and cleaned off the gunk – they had to shave him to remove all of the debris.

He has some mild skin irritation,but is otherwise healthy and seemed to be in good spirits despite his condition. After the tape had been removed, he perked up and was wagging his tail as our team carefully assessed him.

Leo had an embedded microchip which allowed shelter staff to reach his owner. After reaching his family, they learned that he had been reported missing on April 11. The shelter shared Leo’s owner’s comments after learning what happened to her dog:

“He’s the sweetest dog! I don’t know why anyone would do this,” said Erin, who was incredibly emotional upon learning what happened. She is going to be giving him a nice bath and taking him to his vet for a full checkup.”
