BRADENTON, Fla. – The remains of two dogs awaiting cremation were stolen along with a freezer from a veterinarian's office in Florida.
Surveillance video appears to show a man driving away from the Bradenton Veterinary Hospital last week with its outdoor freezer in the back of his pickup truck.
Office manager Kathy Richardson said she hopes the remains of two dogs in the freezer will be returned. Staff searched garbage cans and dumpsters in the area, but they did not find the carcasses.
Richardson said the dogs' owners were distraught to learn that the remains of their pets had been stolen.
"Who would want pets' remains?" Richardson told the ABC affiliate in Tampa.
One of the dogs awaiting cremation was a 13-year-old Siberian husky named Duchess.
Police are investigating the theft.
Richardson said the office had kept the freezer outside for the last three years.
