Dog found in dumpster wrapped up in duct tape: “I have never seen anything like it”

This story is a heartbreaking reminder of the cruelty some animals endure—but thankfully, it also has a hopeful ending.

On April 15, the Nebraska Humane Society (NHS) shared the shocking case of a dog found inside a dumpster, his entire head wrapped in duct tape. A concerned citizen had heard noises coming from the bin, initially thinking it was a raccoon, but was horrified to discover the truth.

Animal Control officers arrived to find the dog in appalling condition—his head, tail, and legs tightly bound with duct tape. His fur was matted with food and debris, and he had been left utterly helpless. Officer Kevin Wiederin, who responded to the call, described the scene as one of the most disturbing he had ever witnessed. “The entire muzzle was taped, his eyes were covered, and his front and back paws were bound. I was absolutely sickened,” he told KETV.

It was a miracle he was found in time—just 30 minutes after the rescue, a truck arrived to empty the dumpster.

The dog, later identified as Leo, was rushed to NHS, where he was sedated while staff carefully removed the tape and shaved his fur to clear away debris. Despite the abuse he suffered, Leo showed remarkable resilience. NHS reported that he had mild skin irritation but was otherwise healthy and even wagged his tail as he recovered.
