Very Disturbing: Girl finds her dogs remains in box (warning TMI)

There are some sick people out there. This poor girl

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) -- A 17-year-old girl who spent weeks looking for her missing dog unwrapped a box left on her doorstep and found the pet's severed head inside, authorities said.

Homicide investigators were looking into the case because of the "implied" terroristic threat, St. Paul Police Sgt. Jim Gray said. The Humane Society of the United States said Wednesday it was offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

"This was extraordinarily heinous," said Dale Bartlett, the Humane Society's deputy manager for animal cruelty issues. "I deal with hundreds and hundreds of cruelty cases each year. When I read about this case, it took my breath away. It's horrible."

After Crystal Brown's 4-year-old Australian shepherd mix,Chevy, wandered away last month, she put up "missing" posters in her neighborhood and went door to door looking for him. She called the St. Paul animal shelter and rode the bus there several times.

"I felt empty," Crystal told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "I couldn't talk to anyone. He was my dog. It was just me and him. ... I told him everything and he never shared any of my secrets."

Two weeks ago, a gift-wrapped box was left at the house Crystal shares with her grandmother. The box had batteries on top, and a note that said "Congratulations Crystal. This side up. Batteries included."

Crystal opened the box and found her dog's head inside. The box also contained Valentine's Day candy.

Crystal screamed when she saw her dog's face.

"She was just hysterical," said Crystal's grandmother, Shirley Brown. "She was screaming. She said, 'Grandma, it's my dog's head!'

"I said, 'no it can't be!"'

Authorities say the case is an isolated incident and the suspect likely knew the family. A motive is unclear.

"This was so cruel," Crystal said. "This is one sick, twisted person."

She now has a new puppy, another Australian shepherd. She's named it Diesel. "Hopefully, he'll be my best friend," Crystal said.

That poor girl.

And to make a conscious decision to wrap the head like a gift. W T F is wrong with people? I am sorry but a $2500 reward for information is not enough for a crime like this. When will animal cruelty cases get the same leverage as criminal cases.

I feel so horrible for her. Something similar happened to my family years ago. One of our neighbors stole our dog out of our yard, poisoned him, and put him back on your doorstep.

There are some seriously sick people out there. That's probably the thing in the world that scares me the most

I truly hope this comes back around to bite this person.

That is Horrible. Why would anyone do something like that?

Re: Very Disturbing: Girl finds her dogs remains in box (warning TMI)

This is so sad!!! Poor girl, that isn't right.

Re: Very Disturbing: Girl finds her dogs remains in box (warning TMI)

That happened to our family dog when we lived in California and I was about 3 years old. He was beheaded and my Dad found his head in a gutter near our house. Funny how it wasn't seen as terroristic back then. It was horrible though.
