Dead dog wearing leash, sweater found in crate in Millville woods

Police in Cumberland County are hoping the public can help them solve a case involving a dead dog found in the woods.

The 6- to 9-month-old brindle pit bull mix was found on Jan. 24. Authorities say that the dog most likely died from human neglect and that there were no signs of disease or trauma found.
