Watch: Dog with PVC pipe stuck around neck rescued in Michigan

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A dog is safe after being found wandering the streets in Wayne County with a piece of PVC pipe stuck around its neck.

Michigan Humane put out the call for help on social media on Tuesday after they received some photos of the dog and reports that it was seen near the border of Detroit and Dearborn.

The state’s oldest animal welfare group posted an update and some pictures of its own on Thursday, showing the dog in their care and getting the piece of pipe removed.

“Thanks to everyone’s support and tips, we were able to find the stray dog with a PVC pipe on his neck today and bring him into our shelter,” the social media post read. “We successfully removed the pipe from his neck, and he is safe in our care, receiving medical treatment.”

Michigan Humane did not provide any other information on the dog’s health status and did not elaborate on how the pipe may have ended up around the dog’s neck but believe it was put there intentionally. The organization has also announced a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest in this case.

Michigan Humane also thanked the Dearborn Police Department for helping them track down the dog and Carhartt for amplifying its message.
