GAINESVILLE, FL (AP) -
Police officers found
a puppy buried alive near a pit
in north Florida.
Williston Police
Chief Dennis Strow told The Gainesville Sun that
officers were disposing of evidence per a court order Thursday when they heard
whimpering sounds.
Once they found the
source of the sound, they started digging and rescued the puppy. They believe he's about two
weeks old and estimate that he'd been buried for less than an hour.
Strow says the puppy was rushed to an animal clinic,
where workers fed him with a baby bottle and started him on solid food.
The chief says the puppy will be placed "in a loving
home."
In
the meantime, Strow says police want to know who buried the puppy.
