Dog Buried Alive in Neighbor’s Backyard
Whimpers a man heard while doing yard work turned out to be a dog buried alive in a neighbor’s backyard. Robbie Wilson said he peeked over his fence and saw the dog’s nose poking out of the ground Sunday, a day after he first heard the cries for help. It was not known how long the dog was buried.
Wilson’s fiancee, Melissa Vanderpool, called for help. The responding animal control officer, Wilson and one of his friends spent more than a half hour using shovels to carefully dig out the dog.
Once out, it walked around and then collapsed. It’s being treated at an animal hospital for dehydration.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was investigating it as an animal-cruelty case. Sgt. Mike Ward said no one has been charged and declined to release information regarding the owner of the property where the dog was found.
