In Luray, Virginia, deputies with the Page County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a harrowing case of alleged animal cruelty. On November 21, 2022, officers responded to the area of 651 Egypt Bend Road for a dog trapped in a fence.

When units arrived on scene, they discovered that a female husky mix had been chained and locked to the barbed wire fence and could not move at all. Animal Control Services was called and after several attempts, they were able to free the dog without incident.

On the Page County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, hundreds of commenters expressed their anger over the situation and called on the department to continue investigating the disturbing incident. After the dog was freed from its chain, she wrapped her front paws around her rescuer in pure gratitude. All the officers on the scene smiled.

Can you imagine her terror and how she must have struggled while they were chaining her to that fence? And then doing everything he can to free himself without seriously injuring himself? These monsters must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and even that is not enough. We all know that animal abuse laws are not strong enough.
