Weymouth Police Seek Public’s Help After Two Dogs Found Dead Near Whitman’s Pond

Overview

• Two dead dogs were recovered near Whitman’s Pond in Weymouth, with a small white terrier found Sunday near the Middle Street gazebo and a black-and-white pitbull mix recovered in a plastic bag Monday along Lake Shore Drive.
• Police asked for tips to identify the owners and provided Animal Control Officer Darren King’s contacts at 781-660-3707 and dking@weymouth.ma.us.
• The bagged recovery of the pitbull mix is considered suspicious, according to police and Animal Control.
• Investigators said the terrier showed no obvious trauma and its death is not considered suspicious.
• Both dogs had no tags, collars, or microchips, though the terrier wore a Seresto flea-and-tick collar, which limits how quickly authorities can trace an owner.
