Dog found on side of the road in Ohio with nose, mouth duct-taped shut

MADISON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKRC) - The Butler County Sheriff's Office in Ohio is investigating after a dog was found on the side of the road with her mouth and nose duct-taped shut.

The dog was taken to a veterinarian and scanned for a microchip. The information on the chip came back to Heart Rescue in Cincinnati, which said it adopted the dog out in 2011. They are looking into that information.
