BELCHERTOWN, Mass. — Authorities are asking for the public’s help finding a driver who allegedly abandoned a beagle with a bevy of health issues in a parking lot last month.
According to Belchertown Police, a severely abused and neglected beagle named “Bagel” was found abandoned and covered in feces near Tractor Supply Company on July 2 at about 9 p.m.
A veterinary exam of the 2-year-old dog showed she had mange, double ear infections, cherry eyes, and infections in her paws. It also appeared she had recently given birth.
Bagel is currently in the care of Belchertown Animal Control, who says she is doing well.
Surveillance footage from the parking lot shows an older model dark-colored Chevy or GMC pickup truck with a cap on the bed abandoning the pup.
Police say there were at least two people in the truck at the time.
