Mutilated animal left on front porch could be missing dog, Charlotte woman says

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - A South Charlotte woman made a shocking discovery this weekend outside her home.

Ally Montier said an animal carcass was found right outside her door, and it appeared to have been placed there.  The remains were of a small animal that had been skinned, with its head and paws missing.

That discovery is especially troubling to Montier, who had been searching for her missing dogs, two pugs named Coco Chanel and Valentino, since April of last year.  FOX 46 interviewed her back when the theft initially happened, after she became the victim of a burglary.

There is no word yet on a suspect or motive.
