PROVIDENCE, N.Y. — A dog found bound with duct tape, stuffed into a trash bag and left to die on the southeastern edge of the Adirondacks is recovering after being rescued by a hunter.

Ed Dandaraw says he was hunting on his Saratoga County property last weekend when he came across a garbage bag. Inside he found a beagle whose head, midsection and front paws were wrapped in duct tape.

Dandaraw took the dog to a veterinary clinic, where a microchip implanted under the dog’s skin helped locate her owners.

The beagle, named Daisy, had been missing for two weeks before being found Sunday near where her owners live.

The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for binding Daisy.
