Police find newborn puppy buried alive

Video: Police find puppy buried alive

Police made a startling discovery last week after they were court ordered to destroy evidence in a wooded area of town – a still breathing 7-day old newborn puppy buried alive in a shallow grave in the woods.

“They heard a whimpering sound, like a crying animal behind them,” Williston Police Chief, Dennis Strow told TODAY.com. “They went to explore it and figured out it was coming from below.” Police speculate that the puppy, a male who is so young that his eyes are still not opened, had been buried less than an hour before the discovery.

Luckily, whomever buried the puppy head-first about 6-inches below the surface, didn’t pack down the soil and he was still able to breathe due to a pocket of air around his tiny head.

The newborn was quickly rushed to Levy Animal Clinic, where he was given the name Tucker and has been receiving care ever since.
