Dozens of Dog, Cat Carcasses Uncovered in Woods
posted 6:55 pm Thu April 17, 2008 - POINT OF ROCKS, Md.
Veterinary technicians in Frederick are taking a close look at the skeletal remains of more than 70 dogs and cats in hopes of learning how they ended up in a heap near the Potomac River in Frederick County.
Harold Domer of the county's animal-control office says a man looking for mushrooms found the remains Tuesday in a wooded area of undeveloped private property off Rock Hall Road near the riverside community of Point of Rocks.
Domer says the bones appear to be those of at least 70 dogs and two cats. He says they could have been placed there about two months ago and might have accumulated over time.
Domer says the state Animal Health Diagnostic Lab in Frederick is assisting in the investigation.
