LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - Fire officials say a dog was lit on fire in Lynn Saturday afternoon.
Lynnfield Animal Control confirms it was called to pick up a dog on Curwin Terrace. When they got to the scene the dog had already died.
Residents in the area say they heard some kind of commotion from children playing in the area, and that’s when they learned a dog had been burned.
“You don’t want to hear about that in your community,” Amari Forbes, of Lynn, said. “I wouldn’t want to see a dog being burnt alive or my stepkids seeing a burning dog out in the street.”
Lynn Police and Fire, as well as the MSPCA, are investigating the incident. Police have not confirmed that children were involved in the dog’s death.
So far, no arrests have been made.
