An investigation is underway in Indiana to find out who left a dog in a dumpster to die.

After a neighbor heard barking and called police, officers found the dog lying in a pile of debris.

The dog, who has been named Ray, was scared but unharmed.

The Humane Society said it will hold Ray for a week to see if someone claims him.

If not, he’ll be eligible for adoption.
