A Massachusetts man has been arrested after police rescued a dog that was chained to a metal rod on a shoreline and left to drown in the incoming tide last week, authorities said.
The investigation began after Trooper Carlo Mastromattei responded around noon on Aug.29 to a report of an abandoned dog tied to a pole along the shoreline at Short Beach in Revere, police said. The dog, a 50-pound male pit bull mix named Killer, was found with a thick metal chain around his neck and a heavy rock attached to it to prevent the animal from escaping, according to police.More Related News
