Henry Co. Sheriff’s Office investigating after dog found injured

HENRY COUNTY, Tenn. — The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed an investigation into alleged animal cruelty.

The sheriff’s office says a family learned on July 4 that their dog had been located in a neighboring county while the family was out of town on vacation.

The sheriff’s office says the family was told their dog had suffered extensive injuries.

Witnesses say they saw a baby blue older model Chevrolet truck with a baby blue camper topper drop the dog off in the neighboring county, then leave, according to investigators.

The witnesses called animal control, and the dog was taken to a veterinary clinic for care, investigators say.

The dog is expected to survive and recover.

The investigation remains ongoing.
