It was a gruesome discovery.

On Sunday night, Meadow lake RCMP were called to the off-leash dog park on 9th Avenue East where the body of a puppy had been discovered.

The dog was found with a wound to the head and Meadow Lake RCMP Sgt. Ryan How did confirm on Wednesday that a machete was found close to the murdered animal.

A volunteer with the Meadow Lake Humane Society told meadowlakeNOW the area has been of concern in recent months with garbage, dead wildlife carcasses being left in the park, as well as motorized vehicles being driven on the premises.
