A cooler with a dead dog inside was found floating in the Long Island Sound on Thursday evening.
According to the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals, a Smithtown bay constable found a dead dog inside a soft-sided cooler floating in the Sound about 1/4 mile west of Cranes Neck and north of Sunken Meadow State Park.
The dog was a brown female pit bull approximately two or three years old. The dog had no tags but had a blue nylon leash, and SCPA officials said there were no visible signs of trauma or scarring.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at 631-382-7722.
