It's a horrible case of animal cruelty that has police searching for those responsible.

The images were shown to police just yesterday. They are both graphic and disturbing, and have been shared on various social media sites.

"I was furious and wanted this out there. I'm sick and tired of going on Facebook and seeing animal abuse," says Skyler Atwood ,who reported the images to police Sunday. "He was hanging his dog from his harness from the ceiling. Then he duct taped his mouth and legs shut. Because it's local and he goes to Warren Mott I wanted to make sure everyone knew about this" says Atwood.

She saw the pictures after a friend had shared them with her.

So far, police haven't said if any arrests were made, or even if they've found that dog.

An investigation remains underway. Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
