The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society says people feeding cats in the area found the Shih Tzu Thursday afternoon.
The dog was wrapped in a blanket and had an “I (heart) Long Walks” collar.
Officials say they’re not sure how long the dog was there or when it died. They’ll perform a necropsy to determine the cause of death.
