NEOSHO, Missouri — The Newton County Sheriff’s Office wants to know who is responsible for skinning a beagle alive.
The sheriff’s office said they went to an animal abuse call in the city of Neosho, Missouri, when they found the dog with 75-percent of its skin removed. The dog was still alive when deputies found her.
After an examination, a veterinarian said the injuries were too severe and she was euthanized.

Newton County’s Sheriff and several citizens of Neosho are now offering an award for $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of the person involved.
