HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Police in Huntersville are investigating a possible case of animal cruelty.

There are several reports of a person driving around with their dog chained behind their Jeep. A picture on social media shared over the weekend showed the dog on the back of the Jeep's cargo holder.

"It's just one sharp turn away from hanging itself basically from its chain," said Lori Bennett, who saw the dog sitting on the back of the Jeep. "Just broke my heart."

The Huntersville Police Department told WCNC the incident was passed on to their Animal Control unit.
