HPD Searching For Jeep Owner Who Drives With Dog On Bumper

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Huntersville police are asking for the public’s help in locating the driver of a jeep who has reportedly been spotted around town at least twice with a leashed dog sitting on a cargo platform off their back bumper.

Photos of the jeep transporting the dog on the cargo carrier hit local social media recently after its driver was seen at Chick-Fil-A and Zaxby’s, Fox46 reported. Now Huntersville Police are investigating.

"It's just one sharp turn away from hanging itself basically from its chain," Lori Bennett told WCNC after seeing the dog while shopping with her son.

Huntersville Police Department received the social media complaints over the weekend, it told the station.

“Owner identified, but not located yet,” HPD said Tuesday morning. “If you see this vehicle, or the owner, or know its whereabouts, please contact police immediately.”
