After a family's beloved dog was found with burns on over half of his body resulting in the pet needing to be put down, North Carolina authorities said they are investigating the "heinous crime." Choppa, a 4-year-old Pit Bull, was found critically injured on July 27 by Wake County Animal Control on Stephenson Road in Apex, North Carolina, roughly 15 miles outside of Raleigh, according to an online statement. The dog was euthanized the next day due to the severity of his injuries. The Wake County Sheriff's Office and Wake County Animal Control said in the joint statement that both agencies are investigating Choppa's "heartbreaking" death as a suspected animal cruelty case.
