A Greenwood man is using his heartbreaking story as a warning to others.

On Tuesday, Cisco Castillo’s dog drowned in a seemingly abandoned pit full of water.

He says it was formerly used by oil field trucks.

He’s worried the next victim to fall in could be a child since many children live in the neighboring homes around the area.

“Before it's a human life, we need to take care of it. You know it's kind of dangerous for little kids to be out here to find it and possibly slip and fall” says Castillo.

Our cameras were rolling as Castillo and his father pulled out two small animal corpses.

Castillo and another neighbor tried contacting someone who they thought might be a former owner of the property but have yet to hear back from them.

He tells us an Environmental Control Agency is coming out to assess the pit.
