RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Two small dogs were found dead in the James River Sunday, and now Richmond Animal Care and Control is trying to find who the dogs belonged to and how they ended up in the water.
”[Sunday] morning, we received several calls for dead dogs off the Potterfield Bridge,” said Christie Chipps Peters with RACC. “One officer responded, then two others responded as well, so we could get the dogs out of the water. One officer changed and swam out to get the dog that was further out to bring the remains back.”
