Conroe, TX - A dog suffered a miserable existence at one Conroe home. That dog's world consisted of a chain, tethered to a fence in the backyard of a home on Shadow Lane.
According to Your Houston News.com, one woman witnessed this dog's misery and contacted animal control to file a complaint.
According to the report, Linda Lindemood contacted the Montgomery County Animal control one month ago to let them know that this dog was being neglected - no food, no water and tethered to a fence.
Lindemood claims that an animal control officer came out and did a welfare check and advised the dog's owner that they needed to rectify the situation.
The situation did not improve for the chained dog - instead, two weeks later, he died at the end of the very chain which had defined his existence.
Lindemood is heartbroken over the dog's death - but sadly, there is more to the story - more heartbreak.
The dog that died - who was neglected and ignored for long enough to pass away - has been left on the end of the chain, still lying where he died.
The body has been on the ground since December 7.
According to the report, animal control has stated that they can not remove the dog's body because doing so would constitute trespassing unless the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office directs the agency to do so.
The Montgomery County Animal Control has indicated that the case was turned over to the sheriff's office for a "possible cruelty investigation".
But the dog, who appears to have been the victim of ongoing neglect, continues to lie upon the ground - weeks after dying.
His owner has not bothered to bury his body.
Of note: Lindemood claims that she initially contacted Animal Control back on November 14. Animal control disputes her claim and have stated that she did not call until December 7, the day that the dog died. According to the Houston publication, the sheriff's office did not reply to an inquiry with regards to the opening of a cruelty investigation against this dog's owner.
Rest in Peace to this dog who suffered so greatly - name unknown.
