The Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the mutilation of a male German shepherd named “Ike” in rural Gering that resulted in the dog being euthanized.

Sharon Henderson, whose 25 year old son owned Ike, says when Ike came home Saturday they saw serious cuts to his chest and legs…then found he’d been castrated and skinned.

Henderson says the family to Ike to a veterinarian who agreed the injuries were “human-caused,” and who recommended that Ike be put to sleep because of his injuries.

Scotts Bluff County Sheriff Mark Overman says the responding deputy took pictures of Ike, and that the case has been given to the department’s investigators.
