Posted — UpdatedPIKEVILLE, N.C. — A dog was found frozen to death Monday inside a doghouse along a road in Pikeville, Wayne County Animal Control said Tuesday.
Animal Control officers were responding to a phone call when they found the brown female pitbull mix inside an igloo-shaped doghouse next to Airport Road, authorities said.
The dog and the doghouse were taken back to Animal Control offices, but authorities said no rabies tag or microchip could be found, so it's unclear who owned the animal.
An investigation by Animal Control is ongoing.
