PHOTO PACKAGE: Dog skinned alive
<h1>What happened?</h1>
A local family’s pet beagle was mutilated and left for dead, Cullman County's worst case of animal cruelty in years.
<h1>Who is investigating?</h1>
Cullman County Sheriff Tyler Roden said the Sheriff’s Office is investigating the case. Roden said the act is a Class C Felony charge and carries a fine up to $5,000 and up to 10 years in prison.
<h1>Where did it happen?</h1>
County Road 1428 in Vinemont.
<h1>What are the owners saying?</h1>
Janet Rodgers: "It is inhumane and I just can’t imagine anyone doing that to a living creature. I am just flabbergasted. I think whoever did this should be tied up and skinned."
Neal Rodgers: "I can’t imagine who would do this. I’ve had bird dogs for years and never had anything like this happen."
<h1>If you have information about this case ...</h1>

Buttercup nestles up to her owner, Neal Rodgers, a week after a possible attempt to skin her failed. Rodgers’ other beagle, Anne, wasn’t so fortunate. Anne was found skinned alive and had to be euthanized.
