Story highlights The dog was found on Saturday in Lindenhurst, New York

A $2,000 reward is offered for information that leads to an arrest

(CNN) A German shepherd with his muzzle taped shut was spotted Saturday near a highway in Long Island, New York, according to Suffolk County SPCA.

The young, male dog was found by a business owner along Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst, New York. The village of Lindenhurst is located on the southern shore of Long Island in the town of Babylon.

When Rob Farha saw the dog, he immediately took pictures and then freed it from the duct tape around its muzzle.

"I can't see what this dog could have done so bad, that someone thinks that they need to tape its mouth shut," Farha told CNN affiliate News 12 Long Island.
