New York UPS driver Mark McGee had seen the German shepherd tied up to a stake while on his travels before. Over the months, he had become familiar with Carl Pritchard’s rural house and taken notice that the dog had been left outside in the cold.
Upon closer inspection, McGee noticed the animal’s leg had been injured, as if it had been “shot off,” as he described it to WTEN in Albany. “I did a double take,” he said. “I’m like you’ve got to be kidding me.” McGee reported the abuse to the Susquehanna SPCA Animal Cruelty Task Force, and they soon found out the horrifying truth of what had happened.
