Family ‘horrified’ after pet dog found hanging from noose

An Arkansas family’s search for their missing pet led to a gruesome discovery when their children found the pooch hanging from a noose near their home, according to a report.

For days, Paula McNeil’s family held out hope as they searched for their beagle mix, Chevy, after he disappeared from their yard last Tuesday, according to news station KSFM.

Then her kids went searching in the woods behind their home two days later and found their beloved pup hanging from a tree.

“It’s frightening to think that there is somebody close by here that could do this to a dog,” McNeil said. “It’s very scary to think what’s in that person’s mind.”

McNeil said her children are “traumatized and horrified” over the dog’s death.

“It’s heinous. It’s pure evil, and whoever did this needs to be brought to justice,” McNeil said.

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the crime — and the owners are urging anyone with information to come forward.

“Think about it as if it was your dog and if it was your children that are traumatized and horrified, afraid for our other animals as well,” McNeil told the news station.
