Family Reels In Shock And Horror After Finding Dog Skinned In Backyard

A Washington family found themselves living in a real-life nightmare on Sunday after they found their beloved dog dead, skinned, and laid out in their backyard.

The family said they let Magoo out for his usual run and potty break in the fenced in backyard sometime Sunday morning. About a half hour later, they found the dog dead in the yard.

“They must have taken the dog, they did whatever they did to him, and they put him back. That’s what really scares me is that they put him back. What does it mean? Is it, is it a message,” says Susanne Bauman, Magoo’s owner.

The most horrifying part of this disgusting and tragic story is the way the dog was laid out afterward. Whoever did this arranged Magoo in such a cryptic way, all while the family started their day inside their home.

“It’s disgusting. It’s disgusting. And we’re all just completely devastated and in shock,” says Bauman’s daughter Julia Sarver.”I’m scared because somebody who would do this, what else would they do? I think that’s the question for us.”

“I mean, this person came onto our property, took the dog, killed him, skinned him, put him back on the property and positioned him like he was a rug,” said Sarver. “With his paws crossed and his head on his paws… laid him out. It’s disgusting.”

Clark County Animal Protection & Control came to the house to gather evidence. However, a Clark County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said they are not yet sure why a deputy wasn’t called out to the house, adding “animal cruelty is a crime under Washington state law and the investigation of these crimes is the responsibility of law enforcement.”

Meanwhile, Magoo’s remains are due to be sent to Oregon State University for further investigation. The family told local news they are shocked somebody would do something so awful to their pet. They are stunned and appalled.

Can you believe somebody could do this to a precious pet? Please tell us your thoughts in the comments and SHARE with friends and family.
