In a case of cruelty towards animals, two dogs were tied up and set on fire in a large bag, killing both, police said.
Firefighters were called to douse a blaze around 8:30 p.M. Yesterday in an alley in Chester, near Philadelphia in the US State of Pennsylvania.
Police said they found the two dogs dead in a tote bag behind a garage on West 6th Street, WCAU-TV reported.
The dogs, which appeared to be pit bull mixes, may have been killed before the bag was set on fire, police said.
Coroners will conduct necropsies on the dogs to find out their causes of death.
Police in Chester, about 25 kilometers southwest of Philadelphia, had not released information on any possible suspects in the case, New York Daily News reported.
