The dog was found on the side of the road with the word โFreeโ spray painted on his body.
A photo was shared on Facebook on Thanksgiving Day and was quick to garner angry reactions from animal lovers who wanted justice for the dog.
It turns out that the dogโs owner was not responsible, but that the dog was likely the victim of someone likely angry by the dogโs wandering ways.
โIโm sure it was a message to the actual owner of the dog, and I just think you went about it the wrong way,โ Harris added. โWeโre there. We can come out and pick up the dog, if need be.โ
Harris added that they are still investigating to find the person(s) responsible. The individual could face animal cruelty charges.
The person who shared the picture on Facebook also added that Freedom is โgoing to a family with lots of room and LOVE.โ
