St. George RCMP are looking into a case of animal cruelty in Musquash.
The Mounties got a call Saturday that a pitbull cross was left trapped in a steel cage at a gravel pit without food, water or shelter.
Police believe the dog would not have survived long due to the 30 degree heat because the cage was wired shut.
RCMP believe the dog was dumped in the pit sometime on Friday night.
The Provincial SPCA provided assistance and the dog is now in the care of the Saint John Animal Rescue League.
