ISLE OF WIGHT, VA (WWBT) - A stray dog is recovering from a horrifying case of sexual abuse in Isle of Wight County.
A family found the beagle-hound mix in Windsor. They named her "Huggles" and took her to an animal shelter.
Vets removed a tumor and spayed her, but she appeared to have developed an infection. When Huggles' condition worsened despite treatment, vets used exploratory surgery to determine the problem - and that's when they discovered the signs of sexual abuse.
Deputies are asking anyone with information to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. PETA is also offering a $5,000 reward.
