A dog was set on fire and killed in Connecticut last Friday — and police are searching for the person who committed the heinous act, according to reports.

The pooch, believed to be a miniature schnauzer, was discovered when firefighters responded to a 10 a.m. blaze in a parking lot of the Sandy Point Beach and Bird Sanctuary in West Haven, according to NBC Connecticut.

Investigators believe an accelerant was also used to burn the animal, the report said.

Seasoned first responders were aghast that somebody could do such a thing, according to the New Haven Register.

“I don’t even think there’s a chance that even Hell would accept them,” West Haven Chief of Police Joseph Perno told the paper, referring to whoever is responsible for the attack.

Perno, who owns five Labrador retrievers, is asking for the public’s help in solving the crime.

“We’re asking anybody who could possibly have seen anything, or anyone in the neighborhood who might have a video camera to come forward and help,” he said.

West Haven Fire Department Chief Jim O’Brien was equally as appalled.

“Anybody that does something like that to an animal, it’s sick,” he told the paper. “I can’t imagine who would want to do that to a defenseless animal.”
