ASPEN, Colo.—Authorities hope multiple rewards will lead to an arrest after a dog’s severed head was found in a park.
Eagle County sheriff’s officials say it appears a human decapitated the dog, whose head and leg were found Aug. 4 in El Jebel northwest of Aspen. They say an examination by veterinarians suggests the dog might have been about 2 to 3 years old and a breed of miniature pinscher or miniature pinscher mix.
