An investigation has been launched after an “emaciated” female pit bull was found dead in a backpack at a North Carolina fishing pier.

On Sunday, just before 5 p.m., a man, who was magnet fishing, discovered the bag and pulled it out of the water, Sunset Beach Police Department revealed in a statement on Facebook.

Police said the dog was “stuffed” inside the bag and that it was weighed down with dumbbells.

Officials said the dog, who was black and brown in color, “appeared to have been in the water for no more than a day or two.”

“Yesterday, our officers responded to a call at the NC Wildlife Boat Ramp in which a subject, who was magnet fishing on the fishing pier, pulled a backpack out of the waterway,” police said.

While little is known about the dog, SBPD announced they “gave the dog a proper burial on town property.”

I have been seriously considering taking up magnet fishing.
Making this kind of discovery though would really mess me up hard.
