Outrage Grows Over Dog Found Frozen to Death

LONGVIEW � Outrage grew Wednesday, locally and nationally, over a dog chained to a tree found frozen to death at a South Longview residence. No arrests have been made in the case, which drew a sharp response Wednesday from the national People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. No arrests have been made but according to the Longview News-Journal, the detective in charge of the investigation will submit evidence to the district attorney�s office for an arrest warrant to be issued.

Tuesday morning shortly after 9:15, Longview Animal Control Officers and Longview Police responded to an animal welfare call in the 2400 Block of 13th Street. When they arrived they found a dog chained in the yard. It appeared the dog had frozen to death and the owner had not provided any type of shelter, water or food for the animal. The dog was so frozen the veterinarian could not even get a temperature reading on the deceased pet.
