The dog continues to recover

LANSING, MICH. (AP) -- Animal control officers investigating the beating of a dog found hog-tied and left for dead in a frozen lot in Lansing say they have some promising leads in the animal cruelty case.

Ingham County Animal Control Director Jamie McAloon Lampman tells the Lansing State Journal the agency is now hopeful about solving the case.

Capital Area Humane Society official Julia Palmer said the female pit bull mix, found with severe head injuries and her four legs bound together with heavy-duty electrical tape, continues to improve.  But she said the 50-pound female faces a long recovery.

An unemployed man found the injured dog Wednesday while walking his own dog.  But Ernie Moss isn't jobless any more.  He's been hired part-time by the owner of a home-remodeling company who read about the case.
