A reward of $16,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the person, or persons, who beat a puppy to death and left it hanging from a tree in Sacramento, Calif.

Animal control officials say the lifeless body of the terrier mix was found hanging from the tree near the Sacramento Levee trail, just a few miles from the city’s downtown, on Jan. 19. Weighing 12 pounds, it’s believed the puppy was only four months old.

A necropsy on the dog found “diffuse and traumatic injuries throughout the entire body,” including “fractures from nose to tail” and abdominal injuries, chief animal control officer Jace Huggins told The Sacramento Bee. “These injuries suggest severe, severe abuse,” Huggins said.
